Catalogue Note
"A carpet will never be a painting nor a tapestry. It belongs to the floor and therefore it is on the floor that he has to be looked at. Its specificity for me is very simple: it should not give you vertigo, should not disperse itself, should bring you back to the centre and, being intimate to our life, should offer peace and quietness to the house".
