The Local Universe

Stefan Heyer

Enquire for Price

A dreamscape rendered in wool and silk, 'The Local Universe' translates Stefan Heyer’s emotive, abstract painting into a textured, tactile surface. Soft, atmospheric washes of ivory, sand, and pale blue blend with delicate line-work and gestural marks in earthy browns, blush, and charcoal. The composition evokes a quiet, expansive landscape; part memory, part imagination. A unique fusion of art and craftsmanship, designed for contemporary interiors with a poetic sensibility.

Artist Collaboration

Stefan Heyer

German artist Stefan Heyer is renowned for his gestural abstract paintings — expressive, multi-layered works combining oil, photo-transfer, and mixed media. Using intuitive, trance-like mark making, Heyer’s art explores personal and collective histories, drawing on philosophy, pop culture, and nature.

His ongoing collaboration with Knots Rugs translates his raw painterly energy into textile form. Each design is meticulously hand-knotted in Nepal using fine Tibetan wool and Chinese silk, transforming Heyer’s complex visual language into tactile compositions.

The partnership continues to evolve, producing new rugs each year — including Raw Earth, winner of the Carpet Design Awards 2024. Together, Stefan Heyer and Knots Rugs blur the line between contemporary art and craft, redefining what a hand-knotted rug can be.
