Sassi

2022

Stones become living art in the conceptual sculptures of Arte Povera artist Giovanni Anselmo, whose work explores themes of time, nature and transformation. Sassi emulates an interplay of natural elements with a dimensional weave of rich wools, cotton, and silk.

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.

Arte Povera evolved a new visual language that was experiential, ever-changing, and alive to the senses. Each Atelier rug is an expression of living art, a one-of-a-kind textile woven by artisans and made to be touched.
