Architecture Melding Artful Rugs

Paddy Pike Studio Designs the Cresco Rug Collection

— August 24, 2024 — Art & Design
Paddy Pike Studio launches the Cresco rug collection, which explores the functions and applications of textiles to meld with the architecture. It visually alters unique and whimsical passageways with the interior space with an artful approach.

The capsule is comprised of five dynamic designs which are all made from hand-knotted wool done by artisans in India. The collaborative process fuses Paddy Pike Studio's subversive method of pragmatics with a unique traditional craft. The surfaces are applied so that they flow from the wall and down to the floor to highlight the visual openings. The contrast of tones also adds to the visual effect as it ensures retaining a softness with its natural textures and warm palette.
