Simone Haug, a visual artist hailing from Bern, Switzerland, created Niches as part of her artistic oeuvre, in a limited edition of five examples (with the present one serving as the artist’s proof).
Here the artist explores the stacked niche element, drawing inspiration from old central Anatolian Tülü rugs. Through her creative process, she has crafted a pattern that seamlessly bridges an archaic past with a vision of a bright future.
Niches is meticulously hand-woven using Persian knots and features high quality, hand-spun New Zealand wool with exceptional fibre length. The weaving technique incorporates a high/low textural structure reminiscent of Mid-Century Modern Scandinavian rugs.
