New to the Knots Rugs Artist Collaboration collection, Dusk is based on an original design that Paper Marbler Natascha Maksimovic created for a project where she hand crafted 3D botanical leaf sculptures. Working from her studio in Margate, Kent, Nat Maks specialises in the art form of Suminagashi Marbling which fuses traditional techniques with contemporary and expressive colour palettes.
Experimenting with the use of non-conventional materials such as crepe paper has resulted in an added level of texture and dimension which we have interpretated with the use of Tibetan wool, Chinese silk and Linen in a 150 knot quality. The pops of orange are reminiscent of blossom and the deep forest greens represent the structure and veins in the leaves.
The Nat Maks collection consists of 8 rugs in total, with bespoke sizes and colourways also available upon request. Production time 20 - 24 weeks.
