The Moor Rug: AP6 + AP8 | Buy &Tradition online at A+R

Description

Evoking the shape and shimmer of gemstones, The Moor Rug marks the second series designed by studio All The Way To Paris for Copenhagen-based &Tradition. In the splendidly hand loom-woven AP6 and AP8, the octagonal shape limns a gem's faceting with the focus on the deep solid color and velvety rich texture of the fiber. For Tanja Vibe and Petra Olsson Gendt of ATWTP, "a rug brings all the elements of a room together in harmony, creating a feeling of closeness."

Design is never static. When Copenhagen-based &Tradition was established in 2010, founder Martin Kornbek Hansen's mission was to produce work that was defined by a unique vision, whether it came from Danish legends of the past or young innovators of the future. The roster extends from timeless luminaries such as Verner Panton and Arne Jacobsen to current leading lights Samuel Wilkinson and Norm.Architects to exciting new names Mia Hamborg and Victor Vetterlein. As the company's Kornbek Hansen puts it: "We see a kinship between the old masters, who were avant-garde in their time, and new designers creating the ground-breaking icons of today."

With its library of furniture and lighting extending from the 1930s to the present day, the firm is uniquely positioned to carry on the Nordic tradition of unstinting craftsmanship and adroit use of materials. Nonetheless, &Tradition sees its future in global terms, handpicking design talent and production facilities internationally in an effort to continually produce relevant product and engage a new generation of conscious consumers.
