A field of precise, alternating textures creates the effect of continuous pleats, catching shadow and light like a piece of finely folded fabric. Fine raised lines of wool run parallel across the dark grey surface, separated by slightly recessed channels where the silk yarn catches the light, mimicking the accordion structure of the Plisse collection. One razor-thin, unbroken line of saturated gold wool cuts horizontally across the lower third of the composition, a single decisive event that disrupts the calm monochrome logic without breaking its rhythm.
The visual density of the repeated ridges creates a sense of tactile volume on the floor, while the strict geometry is tempered by the natural variation of the hand-dyed yarns and the subtle shimmer of the silk channels. The edges are finished cleanly, emphasizing the precise engineering of this technical textile that feels less like a floor covering and more like an architectural plane. The low, dense pile offers a firm but resilient surface underfoot.
Craftsmanship
Each piece in the Plisse collection is hand-knotted in Kathmandu, Nepal by master artisans using time-honored Tibetan weaving techniques. Onyx Fold is constructed with 65% tibetan wool, 35% cultivated silk, achieving a surface that rewards both the eye and the hand.
