Illulian, the Milanese brand of luxury handmade rugs, presents the new Ki rug by Karim Rashid, an innovative and provocative piece of design that goes beyond the established paths.
Ki is a tribute to oriental culture and evokes an irresistible energy that inspires movement and change. It is characterized by a geometric pattern full of energy and vitality and stands out for its intriguing design.
The use of bright colours such as fluorescent yellow, contrasting with the black background, emphasises the soft curves of the concentric lines that are the protagonists of the design. The shape of the rug matches the geometric design, creating an optical illusion of depth and movement. An authentic explosion of life that transforms spaces, giving them character and personality.
Part of Illulian’s Limited Edition Collection, the rug is knotted and carded by hand and enchants with the colours appeal provided by the brilliant vegetables’ colours used. It is available in two qualities Platinum 120 and Gold 100.
Platinum 120, the most exclusive line is characterized using top-quality wool and silk and the extremely complex handcrafted process – with a stunning 180.000 knots/m2 – that creates spectacular sculpted effects. Gold 100 proposes rugs made from wool and silk, with a timeless charm and a density of 152.000 knots/m2.
In addition, Illulian's Custom Made service, the brand's ace in the hole, makes it possible to create a completely bespoke rug to meet any type of request and personalisation: colours, patterns, sizes, and shapes are specially designed to create exclusive, unique pieces. These prestigious pieces can be chosen for both residential and contract applications such as museums, showrooms, hotels, restaurants, and nautical solutions.
The collaboration between Karim Rashid and Illulian is already well established. The designer has also signed the Ether and Info rugs for Illulian, presented this year in new nuances that enhance the design and fine craftsmanship that distinguish the brand's products.
