Eileen Gray's relationship with textile design was inseparable from her broader vision of the interior as a total work of art. Long before her architecture and furniture achieved wide recognition, her Paris studio produced rugs of striking geometric invention, each one a composition in its own right. The Wendingen takes its name from the Dutch avant-garde architectural journal that published a landmark issue devoted to Gray's work in 1924, bringing her designs to an international audience for the first time. The pattern itself carries that same spirit: bold, abstract, and rooted in a distinctly modern sensibility. 100% New Zealand virgin wool or 100% Nepalese nettle, hand-spun Hand-woven at 80 knots per square inch (per 6.45 cm²) Coloured with environmentally friendly pigments, certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Natural vegetable dyes; low-maintenance and suitable for vacuum cleaning Produced by ClassiCon in strict fidelity to Gray's original intentions, the Wendingen rug belongs to a body of work that sits at the intersection of decorative art and architectural thinking.
