carpet blue – green

Carpet blue-green is the first carpet that Muller Van Severen has designed. The carpet is first presented in 2016 at Biennale Interieur in Kortrijk and is produced in collaboration with Ashtari, renowned for hand-crafted and high-end carpets and kelims. Carpet blue-green consists of Tibetan wool, Pashmina wool and Cashmere silk. The variety in brilliance between the silk and the wool creates a depth of field. More than forty tones of green and blue were implemented, making the carpet a very labor-intensive product. The carpet offers a look into the past of Muller Van Severen. As an artist, Fien Muller used to focus on still life photography and created colorful collages with different kinds of materials. The illustration on the carpet consists of pieces that were extruded from her former photography work and suggests a lot of movement.
