New to the Knots Rugs Artist Collaboration collection, Monsoon is based on an original design that Paper Marbler Natascha Maksimovic created in her studio which is based in Margate, Kent. Nat Maks specialises in the art form of Suminagashi Marbling which fuses traditional techniques with contemporary and expressive colour palettes.
With a nod to Helen Frankenthaler’s abstract landscapes, Monsoon has been taken from oil ink colour swatch which features a bold, moody palette of deep blues and emerald greens with bright pops of oranges, reds and purples, all of which were organically created with a paint brush on paper. This piece has been hand-knotted by Artisan weavers in Nepal, using 42 different colours in Tibetan wool and Chinese silk.
The Nat Maks collection consists of 8 rugs in total, with bespoke sizes and colourways also available upon request. Production time 16 - 20 weeks.
