Perspective In Blue

PERSPECTIVE IN BLUE is a rectangular wool rug.‎Perspectives is a new collection of Gabbehs designed by Zollanvari Studio.‎ A central linear vanishing point forms the focus of the design from which squares of augmenting dimensions emerge.‎ This design uses the most well-known motif of geometric Gabbehs, the square, to create a thoroughly contemporary carpet in the Op Art (a term coined in 1964 by Time magazine) tradition.‎ Op Art is a form of abstract art (specifically non-objective art) which relies on optical illusions in order to fool the eye of the viewer.‎ The design of this carpet is a form of kinetic art and relates to geometric designs that create feelings of movement or vibration.‎ To achieve this in a woven carpet was the challenge for our designers and weavers.‎
