Pliage takes shape through a sequence of inclined planes
The fold is the starting point for an exploration that transforms a surface into
architecture, with Bruno Tarsia’s Pliage rug for Illulian.
The rug becomes a living landscape, capable of shaping space and engaging
in a continuous dialogue with light. Like a contemporary origami, the design
takes shape through a sequence of inclined planes that progressively multiply
and expand, generating a visual rhythm of solids and voids, shadows and
reflections.
The rigorous geometric pattern gradually develops into a more fluid and organic configuration, as though the surface were being animated by a force capable of transforming it and setting it in motion.
Silk, luminous and vibrant, enhances the purest and most linear surfaces,
responding to light with subtle, iridescent reflections that continuously alter the
perception of the design, while wool, with its more matte and tactile character,
defines the geometric structure, lending balance, depth and solidity to the
composition. Together, the two materials create a constantly shifting interplay
of light, texture and volume.
