The Winners 2020
All winners at a glance
Giovanni
Manufacturer: Floor_Story
Based on an original ceramic, this rug brings the artist’s unmistakable style and sense of joy to life through painterly colour layups, fill scribbles and graphic lines. The bold, cartoonish look is enhanced by the unconventional and carefully delineated shape.
And so the jury states...
"Fresh and true – an art rug that ticks every box."
Stairmaze
Exhibitor: Jaipur Rugs Company
This rug reflects the beauty of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Jaipur, particularly the intricate designs gracing the subterranean architecture of the city’s step-wells. Differing pile heights accentuate the delicate tracery of the ornamentation, giving the floor covering a beautiful sense of depth.
And so the jury states...
"The innovative construction techniques complement and enhance the design."
Strati
Exhibitor: Jaipur Rugs Comany
Haphazard elements settle side by side to form a coherent story in this rug. Strati belongs to the Aakar collection; Aakar means shape in Hindi and encapsulates the idea of putting various forms in distinctive colours together to construct a rug where the sum is greater than its parts.
And so the jury states...
"An innovative design featuring appealing textures."
Shahnameh
Exhibitor: Lila Valadan
This unique wool and silk one-of-a-kind artwork perfectly fuses the design of classical Tabriz rugs and an artistic interpretation of Rostam’s Seven Labours from the epic 12th century poem Shahnameh. This piece features 100% organic wool and silk and 100% natural dyes to create a rug at one with nature.
And so the jury states...
"A meditative balanced design."
Sixth Sense
Exhibitor: Lila Valadan
Almost forgotten weaving techniques have been reinterpreted from old artefacts. Man’s soul searching begins with the realisation that the world is an illusion created by the five senses and beyond is a subconscious level of awareness.
And so the jury states...
"Deep and complex"
Jaipur Wunderkammer Collection
Exhibitor: Jaipur Rugs Company
An Italian designer has been inspired by the UNESCO World Heritage site of Jaipur, Rajasthan to create a graphic collection that represents a phantasmagorical vision of India and highlights the mystifying charm of the Pink City.
And so the jury states...
"An exciting variety of designs with a fantastic signature look."
Home Dana
Exhibitor: Rug Star by Jürgen Dahlmanns
Rugs from India and Afghanistan are displayed in a newly renovated 1970s apartment with low ceilings on the 36th floor in Millennium Park, Downtown Chicago. The designer was aiming for ‘emancipated eclecticism’ which is echoed in the rug selection.
And so the jury states...
"A rug and an interior that are perfectly matched."
Fresco
Exhibitor: Knots Rugs
Part of a collection entitled Your Floor is the Canvas, this rug uses 44 colours and is the result of a collaboration between a design company and a museum. Layer upon layer of imagery adapted from the museum archives mix Gothic, Classical and Pop aesthetics to unique effect.
And so the jury states...
"A fascinating design with good scale and depth."
Full Moon
Exhibitor: Kirkit Rugs
This monochrome rug harnessing the magic of the full moon is designed by a winner of the prestigious Istanbul Young Designers’ Contest. The manufacturing process upcycles used textiles; old hemp flatweaves and goat hair nomadic tents are unravelled and the fibres treated and reused to produce this sophisticated and eco-friendly carpet.
