The gestural slash paintings of Argentinian artist Lucio Fontana blurred the lines between painting and sculpture. Lacero makes a conceptual statement with a graphic motif of plied yarns against contrasting fields of multi-felted merino and undyed wool.
This collection elevates textiles to living art. Inspired by Arte Povera, a Post-War Italian art movement that used simple materials to create works of artistic expression, each rug is an homage to these visionary artists—transcending the boundaries between art and nature, artist and artisan.
The Atelier collection is a series of limited-edition pieces created and designed by Sylvie Johnson and the Merida team.
