平行思绪地毯系列, 2018

Limited Edition

产品设计师Michael Young为比利时地毯大师级匠人Limited Edition量身定制的最新作品,题为“平行思绪”(Parallel Brain),构想意溢于外,以空间的迷幻,启发科学与自然的平行对弈。

 

作品的灵感来自名为反应扩散的物理现象,指两种液体相互排斥下的分布纹理,如水面的油层,其色调之幻化,像鱼鳞流彩斑斓,其纹理的聚散,就如豹纹分布有序。

地毯上条纹曲折犹如迷阵,却酷似脑部的褶纹构造,线条环环相扣,张弛起伏,像要把眼光引到无尽的旅程。

设计师Michael Young简述这个设计:“作品体现工业艺术的设计风格,布局引人入胜。”“平行思绪”结合精妙的设计,以及精湛的工艺,将意念实践成为地毯作品。以艺术融汇产品,定必升华成为争相竞夺的藏品。

Parallel Brain Rug, 2018Michael Young for Limited Edition Parallel Brain, a new made-to-measure rug designed by innovate product design designer Michael Young for the Belgian master rug maker Limited Edition, has a psychedelic matrix with its genesis in the worlds of science and nature.The rug is inspired by the scientific phenomenon known as reaction-diffusion which is the chemical response when two liquids repel each other.  Think of the shimmer that arises when petrol and water try to get together or the intricate delicacy of the patterning of a leopard’s coat or the scales of a fish.

The patterns generated by the same chemical dynamic deliver the labyrinth-like array of the rug.  A seemingly random arrangement of folds or waves as seen in brain tissue or indeed, brain corals.  The maze-like structure is an enticing combination of interlocking geometric patterns that twist and turn leading the eye back and forth on a never ending journey.

“It is design as industrial art that interests me,” explains Young of his work.  Parallel Brain combines his creative ingenuity with the skills of master craftsmen to produce a rug that, like art, will become a collector’s item.

The family-owned company, Limited Edition, makes high-quality rugs from their base in Moeskroen in the westerly Belgian province of Hainaut.  Limited Edition distinguishes itself by craftsmanship and a luxury of simplicity. The colours of the hand-dyed yarn are created especially for Parallel Brain at the firm’s own dye works.  Crafted using exclusively 100% superior-quality New-Zealand wool, each Parallel Brain rug is hand-tufted by experts in the use of a tufting gun meaning each piece is truly unique.
