ClassiCon | Furniture Centimetre Rug

Description

Centimetre is a rug created by designer Eileen Gray in 1926 and re-affirmed by Classicon brand. 100% pure wool carpet. Colored with natural vegetable dyes. Hand-knotted with 80 knots per square inch (12.5 cm²).Designed for the Salon of the Villa E1027, the Centimetre Rug highlights the number 10 with a mysterious code – a nod to the tenth letter of the alphabet: J for Jean Badovici, with whom she designed the Villa Maison au Bord de Mer E1027. Numerals and icons – such as fragmentary elements of everyday objects – can be found in Eileen Gray’s rug designs of the later 1920s. They are allusions to her wide interests encountered in her creative life.
