Inspired by the reflective sculptures of Anish Kapoor, a curved edge becomes the motif in this richly layered rug tufted from multi-felted merino wool and seven natural yarns.
A celebration of light and shadow, this collection is a meditation on the transformative qualities of light, season, and moment, each piece reflecting on the shifting nature of perspective and perception.
The Atelier collection is a series of limited-edition pieces created and designed by Sylvie Johnson and the Merida team.
In Perception of Light, Sylvie Johnson reflects on her lifelong fascination with light and shadow—not just as visual phenomena, but as forces that shape perception, emotion, and self-understanding. Each piece in the series is both personal and contemplative, capturing how light transforms a textile across time: from morning to night, season to season, moment to moment. Created in close collaboration with Merida Studio, the works trace Johnson’s evolving relationship with color and ma—a meditation on the quiet intervals between what is seen and what is felt.
