Wiener GTV Design Thonet - Around Colors Rug brown

Paola Pastorini has designed AROUND COLORS RUGS COLLECTION a collection of rugs for Gebrüder Thonet Vienna, inspired by a careful study of elementary geometric shapes and their juxtaposition, freely drawing on early 20th century trends. A selection of colours capable of softening the rigour of the geometric design, creating furnishings that harmoniously delineate spaces. The rugs are made of wool and silk and are hand-knotted. The collection comprises four carpets, two rectangular YELLOW/PINK, one square GREY and one oval BROWN.
