The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation has partnered with Surya to marry his architectural genius with Surya’s mastery of textile craftsmanship in two new handmade rug collections.
Recognised for his revolutionary architectural designs that blend form with function, Wright’s creative ability extended far beyond the border of architecture to murals, furniture, art glass, textiles and decorative elements to create a complete work of art inside and outside of a building.
The two rug collections are called Transcendence and Luxuries, with the designs being a testament to Wright’s iconic style, featuring geometric precision, organic motifs and a harmonious fusion of nature and structure.
Transcendence is a hand knotted collection made from luxurious New Zealand wool with viscose accents and celebrates the architect’s practice of abstracting the natural forms around him into their essential, underlying geometry. Meanwhile, Luxuries is a hand loomed collection and draws its inspiration from the rectilinear grids that Wright used as the foundation for his decorative and architectural designs. The rugs are made in India by skilled artisans to honour the art of craftsmanship. Both collections feature a monochromatic palette.
A portion of purchase price supports the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation’s work to inspire people to discover and embrace an architecture for better living through meaningful connections to nature, the arts and each other.
“Wright believed that the beautiful objects we surround ourselves with enrich our lives, and we at the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation feel that these exquisite rugs from Surya in rich textures and delightful forms will greatly improve the lives of those who purchase them,” commented Sally Russell, director of licensing at the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.
Satya Tiwari, president at Surya, continued: “We are thrilled to partner with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation to bring Wright’s legendary designs to life in the form of stunning rugs. We believe this collaboration will inspire and captivate design enthusiasts around the world.”
