A representation of powerful and strong women, Signe is simply breathtaking
Copenhagen-based designer Signe Emdal is known for innovative weaving techniques and has showcased her creations in institutions across the world. The Signy rug design was
Signy has a subtle gradient of warm red tones on a pale rose foundation. Red silk represents the strength and fire inside these strong females, the overwhelming feeling of a powerful light. It almost feels like a red lipstick contrasted against a pale Nordic skin tone.
The knotted silk fringes of Signy are inspired by macramé, a knotting technique that made its way to Europe on trade routes from the Arabic world. It was [a] wildly popular home decoration in the Victorian era, although the technique dates back to 13th century Arabia, developed side-by-side with rug making processes.
‘I’m amazed that my energy can translate into a handmade piece of art without having been through my hands. Signy really is a testament to the amazing artisans in Nepal that have breathed beauty into my work through their exquisite abilities and true understanding of their craft.’ Signe Emdal, 2017.
