Description:
Glamorous.
Mesmerizing. Timeless. Such indeed are geometric rugs. Nothing adds a greater
finishing touch to an interior than a perfectly matched carpet. And what may be
better than the versatility of figures, the abstraction of design and the order
of symmetry? After all, they say that mathematics is the queen of the sciences,
is it not? There is no way of resiting the charm of angular elegance exuded by
this kind of interior ornaments. Their clean, clear, orderly esthetics will
convince even the most demanding connoisseurs of decorating, leaving them in
awe. Although we tend to associate geometric design with futurism, it may come
as a surprise to many that this sort of rugs does not necessarily has to be
placed in ultimately modern spaces. The category is broad and vast, not so easy
to put into stiff frames as it comprises of many different patterns, trends and
movements as well as a considerate number of high-end designers involved.
The
general definition of geometric motifs is that they are abstract,
nonrepresentational shapes such as circles, lines, ellipses, triangles,
rectangles or polygons. But there is so much more depth and history behind it.
It is worth mentioning that one of the most beloved and widely renowned type –
Scandinavian, especially Swedish rugs – are a model, historical example of the
use of geometry in design. There, a cross symbolizes a flower and a rhombus is
a diamond – every figure has its own distinctive meaning. Moreover, we have Art
Deco – an extremely influential style, which draws abundantly from geometry,
composing figures in a way to obtain intricate, unobvious patterns, keeping
them stylish at the same time.
A
geometric carpet has many faces – each and every one of them worth attention
and admiration. When combined with bold colors, they have the power of
enlivening an interior, whereas with the application of toned, pastel hues they
may transform a room into a soothing oasis. No wonder, they are in the
spotlight among world’s greatest designers, who not only pick them for interior
projects, but are also the authors of some of those beauties. One of the
brightest examples is Kim Alexandriuk, whose beautiful creations are the
essence of the geometric chic. So let yourself get carried away by ‘diapers’,
checked pattern, stripes or ‘harlequins’ and fall in love with geometric
splendor.
