rug _story
POoR Collective apply their community centred design approach to the making process of flatwoven rugs with warp and weft yarns speak to the interesting facades of city tower blocks.
POWER, where a rug becomes a visual metaphor for collective energy, its pattern formed in reference to the intersecting lines of deck access city tower blocks that are part of the social and visual landscape of London.
When approaching this collaboration, POoR collective drew on the parallels between woven surfaces and tower blocks through layered lines, overlapping histories and the gathering of threads that encompass a larger composition. The collective have explored rug-designing “by translating the city’s urban fabric into a literal fabric” which invites us to reflect upon belonging, memory and the formation of spaces.
The POWER rug design unites elements found in iconic London tower blocks, drawing particularly on the horizontal and vertical deck-access architectural features in West London’s Trellick Tower. Special attention was made to the banding width, finding that balance was key to the symmetry within the graphic elements of the rug, reflecting contemporary expression and historical architectural language. The circular motifs found within the alternating columns echo communal gathering points and a concentric element within the eclectic rhythm and flow of the city.
rug _construction
Tufted
Crafted by punching strands of yarn onto a stretched canvas frame, hand-tufting brings a deep and luxurious texture. The feel of a hand-tufted rug is hard to beat and the technique is ideal for a myriad of shapes, painterly lines and bright, contrasting colours.
