About the Item

CALIFORNIA, the rug created by Nathalie Du Pasquier in 1983, reflects the designer’s creativity: it is a festival of different visual stimuli gathered over the years, presented here in a work that combines past and present, crafts and industry. A pattern of black patches against light blue becomes the backdrop for red triangles and white squares with black dots, matched with central strips of yellow and red. Placed along the yellow, green, red and black frame, these forms play with the geometry of the rectangular border in a situation of only apparent chaos. Actually everything has been studied down to the smallest details, giving rise to a unique composition with the typical characteristics of Memphis. 100% Tibetan wool rug, hand-knotted on traditional loom.

California Woolen Carpet by Nathalie Du Pasquier from Memphis Milano
By Memphis Group, Memphis Milano, Nathalie du Pasquier
Located in La Morra, Cuneo
The California hand woven wool carpet was originally designed in 1983 by Nathalie Du Pasquier for Memphis Milano. Nathalie du Pasquier was born in Bordeaux, France, in 1957. She has lived and worked in Milano since 1979. Until 1986 she worked as a designer and was a founder member of Memphis for which she designed many textiles, carpets, furniture and objects. When the group broke up in 87, painting became her main activity. Memphis is the great cultural phenomenon of the 1980s that revolutionized creative and commercial logics in design. Born from the idea of Ettore Sottsass and a group of young designers and architects, in Milan, coupled in the years by famous designers from the international scene, Memphis turned upside down all of the existing parameters on living. Ettore Sottsass as the backbone of the group, design gained a new concept and expression through new shapes, materials and patterns, expanding the creative limits of the industry. Memphis became a symbol of New Design. Its influence is still clear in various sectors of production and beyond.
