Dezeen Showroom: Indian company Azmas Rugs has extended its experiments with mathematics and design to its most complex creation yet, the Raffles rug, devised by designer David Mrugala.
Part of Azmas’ Tessellations collection, the Raffles rug features a feather- or frond-like pattern that is superimposed against itself to produce a sense of movement and avoid the monotony of repetition.
The rug was Azmas Rugs’ most expensive pieces to make so far, because it is handknotted from wool and silk with a dense 100 knots per square inch.
As well as adding to durability and comfort under foot, this approach gives more clarity and definition to the pattern, similar to having more pixels in an image.
Mrugala is a German architect, designer and educator who runs Thedotisblack, a research platform that aims to innovate design through generative drawings made with code.
His work combines visual narratives, natural science studies, sound analysis and data visualisation – interests that are shared at Azmas Rugs, which translates these digital arts to ancient weaving techniques in Rajasthan, India.
