This is so beautiful I think.
By Joaquim Ruiz Millet, who is writer, filmmaker and gallery director.
This Manuscrit Rug (2003) is an expression of all of his passions, and features a romantic poem that he wrote in his native Catalan.
Featuring the actual handwriting of the designer, the rug is an enlargement of a page in a novel Ruiz Millet is working on. The designer plays with the dual meaning in this piece. On one hand, the rug is visually engaging and functional, while at the same time, it encourages people to walk on his words; a fragment of a work of fiction about power relationships imbued with highly charged eroticism.
How cool is that? I wish I could read Catalan. And I wish I had $3,300 for a rug. I’d be all over this.
