Renowned American glass artist Dale Chihuly’s second collaboration with The Rug Company, Masterpieces II, reimagines his iconic glasswork in the form of four exquisite rugs. Drawing on Chihuly’s ability to transform traditional craftsmanship into avant-garde art, the collection explores his signature themes of colour, form, and movement.
Inspired by Chihuly’s early artistic journey in Venice and his deep connection to glassmaking, each rug translates the fluidity and vibrancy of his works into luxurious hand-knotted wool and silk textiles. River, with its deep blues and greys, evokes the dynamic flow of water, while Oyster captures the bold vibrancy of Chihuly’s Macchia series with jewel-toned accents. The delicate ripples of Scallop mirror the gentle undulations of the sea, featuring subtle hues and a nod to Chihuly’s distinct layering techniques. Meanwhile, Coho dazzles with 32 colors, reminiscent of Chihuly’s Blanket Cylinders, creating a striking interplay of translucent and opaque forms.
Masterpieces II offers endless customisation, including options for wall-to-wall carpets and stair runners. This collection not only celebrates Chihuly’s artistic legacy but also redefines the boundaries of textile design, bringing his visionary artistry into the world of interiors.
