Monolith rug

Eileen Gray not only created some of the most iconic 20th century furniture classics but also ran a studio where rugs were produced based on her designs. Some of her most beautiful designs are part of the rug collection by ClassiCon. Monolith is based on Eileen Gray’s gouaches and pencil drawings from the 1920s. The design is characterised by beige horizontal and vertical lines of varying lengths that elegantly accentuate the earthy dark grey background. In some places, the lines cross without touching and suggest a structure that seems to divide the rug into square spaces of different sizes. Hand-knotted from the finest 100% new wool and produced to the highest quality in Nepal, Monolith is yet another impressive design that brings the artistic work of the Irish designer into focus.
