2025 by Karen Parrish in Business Strategy, Industry
On the occasion of Downtown Design 2025, Illulian – the Italian luxury brand that has embodied global excellence in the field of bespoke handmade rugs since 1959 – presents a refined selection of textile artworks celebrating the ancient Himalayan art of weaving.
The highlight of this edition is the Quantum Dance Collection, designed by artist Jessica Moritz: two rugs, Supernova and Serendipity, conceived as a journey through perception – a poetic reflection on how time and light shape visual reality.
Illulian’s participation in Downtown Design also offers a journey through the brand’s diverse creative expressions: from the Limited Edition Collection, featuring rugs designed by some of the most brilliant international creative minds, to the Design Collection, with patterns and motifs developed by the brand’s in- house creative department; from the Essential Collection, which celebrates the purity of craftsmanship through minimalist designs, to the Palace Collection, characterized by classically inspired decorations that harmoniously complement even the most contemporary interiors.
With its presence at Downtown Design 2025, Illulian once again reaffirms the dialogue between art, tradition, and innovation, consolidating its position as a leading name in the international world of high-end textile design.
On show in Dubai, a selection of rugs from the Illulian collections in bright colors and unique shapes.
SERENDIPITY BY JESSICA MORITZ - LIMITED EDITION COLLECTION
Serendipity evolves from the torus, a sacred geometric form that embodies flow and balance. Three interwoven rings echo the cycles of energy moving in and out, symbolizing harmony and equilibrium. From this primordial form arises an intimate reflection on inner balance: the ability to create harmony where no path exists, a sense of release within, a mental choreography that keeps moving.
SUPERNOVA by JESSICA MORITZ - LIMITED EDITION COLLECTION
Supernova celebrates the allure of uncertain paths and trajectories that bend and regenerate over time. Circles mark turning points; lines trace the passage of time; shapes reflect on the journey. Yet nothing unfolds in a straight direction — movement bends, recalibrates, evolves. An homage to the beauty of detours, where logic dissolves and new constellations emerge.
FLORALIA YARD VOL. II by PAULA CADEMARTORI - LIMITED EDITION COLLECTION
Floralia Yard is a journey into the designer’s wondrous world. Inspired by sinuous geometries, ornamental lines, and floral patterns, Floralia Yard brings to life a vibrant tapestry of eclectic artistry. The rug offers an immersive visual and sensory experience, where its intricate motifs and rich hues captivate the eye and evoke a deep emotional response.
TARAXACUM by FONDAZIONE ACHILLE CASTIGLIONI – LIMITED EDITION COLLECTION
Taraxacum, named after the lamp of the same name, is a celebration of the creative genius of one of the greatest masters of 20th century Italian design: Achille Castiglioni. The latter, with its floral shape and the play of light it emanates, has inspired a textile creation that captures the essence of the original work.
CREEK – DESIGN COLLECTION
The Creek rug stands out for its irregular, soft, and fluid shape, which breaks away from geometric conventions and invites the eye to follow its sinuous contours. The monochromatic background, understated and elegant, enhances the golden veins that run across its surface: thin and shimmering, they are inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi, where fractures are mended with gold, transforming imperfection into a mark of beauty and renewal.
DUNE – ESSENTIAL COLLECTION
Inspired by the ever-changing beauty of desert landscapes, Dune translates the wind-sculpted formations of sand dunes into an elegant textile masterpiece. The organic, flowing pattern, created through a delicate interplay of high and low pile heights, mimics the soft undulations of desert crests, generating a mesmerizing three-dimensional effect. This rug offers a rich tactile experience, inviting the observer to immerse themselves in its serene and meditative aesthetic. The soft, neutral palette, ranging from ivory to sandy beige tones, enhances its versatility, making it a perfect choice for contemporary and minimalist spaces. Dune is not just a rug—it is an artistic tribute to the poetry of nature, evoking a sense of calm and movement in perfect harmony.
EDRA CUT OUT – ESSENTIAL COLLECTION
The Edra Cut Out rug combines graphic precision and visual poetry, creating a refined interplay of lines and organic forms that evoke the delicacy of nature. Its surface is entirely adorned with an overlapping pattern of leaves, outlined with fine and precise strokes that enhance their lightness. The veins form a harmonious and continuous rhythm, reminiscent of a carpet of fallen leaves gracefully resting on the ground. Rich in detail, the design preserves a sense of calm and purity through its neutral palette and balanced composition.
BALTHAZAR DEGRADÈ – PALACE COLLECTION
Balthazar Dégradé celebrates the charm of ancient decorative motifs with a contemporary reinterpretation that plays with the subtlety of color gradients. Refined arabesques and intricate ornamentation, enhanced by a higher pile, create a sense of depth and three-dimensionality, accentuating the sophistication of the pattern. The seamless gradient shift from deep petroleum blue to soft ivory and grey tones lends the rug an ethereal, sophisticated aura, making it an ideal statement piece for both classic and contemporary interiors.
ETOILE – PALACE COLLECTION
Etoile is an authentic masterpiece that celebrates the quintessence of classical elegance: a harmonious interplay of colors and motifs that evokes the splendor of Renaissance noble salons. At its center, a floral medallion in soft blush tones unfurls like an ancient flower, embraced by scrolls and garlands that seem to dance in perfect harmony. Every detail tells a story of grace and opulence, making Étoile not merely a furnishing piece, but a true work of art that illuminates and ennobles any interior.
