A single, precise cut defines the Onyx Facet. Its design originates from the geometry of a polished obsidian cabochon, where a deep black, light-absorbent field is interrupted by a sharp, rectilinear band of reflective gold silk. The stepped edge creates a architectural rhythm across the surface. This composition relies on the inherent high contrast of the lapidary stone and the quiet authority of platinum light.
The precise geometry frames the central void, emphasizing the negative space. The texture is intentionally low-pile, mirroring the planar surfaces of Art Deco design. Each rug is hand-knotted, allowing the subtle, naturally occurring irregularities of the dyed fiber to provide depth, countering the hard-edged composition. The overall impression is one of weight, clarity, and structural restraint, achieving quiet authority through contrast rather than ornament.
