Echoes rug collection by Kristine Five Melvær for Volver
Dezeen Showroom: Norwegian design brand Volver worked with designer Kristine Five Melvær on a range of kaleidoscopic hand tufted rugs decorated with geometric patterns.
Kristine Five Melvær looked to the concept of memory to inform the rugs, drawing on her own lived experience.
The three designs – Imprint, Trace and Veil – all feature complex designs based on the repetition of geometric shapes, delineated by areas of shorter and longer pile heights.
"Veil evokes the beginning of experience through translucent layers and soft repetition, Imprint captures meaningful encounters with bold, geometric symbols inspired by ceramic reliefs, and Trace reflects what remains – a tactile memory map with raised forms and leaf motifs referencing the Tree of Life," said Volver.
"The development of the collection has been a meticulous process, involving hand-drawn sketches, vector-based illustrations, embroidered samples, paper models and tufted prototypes," the brand continued.
"Through this fusion of research, craftsmanship and artistic expression and close dialog with Ksenia Stanishevski – the founder of Volver – Kristine has created a collection that is both deeply personal and universally resonant."
Each pattern comes in three colourful options, including neutrals as well as earthy greens and browns.
