The hand knotted ‘Etude Ligne, 1941’ (2m x 3m) is taken from an original composition in pencil on paper, which was part of her last series of artworks. The neutral ground of the rug mimics the paper’s discolouration over time, and the curved and broken lines are accentuated with a slight lowering of pile height. The rug is made to order with custom options available. 

Sophie Taeuber-Arp (1889–1943), textile designer, architect, illustrator, sculptor, abstract artist, teacher, and magazine editor, refused to be confined to one discipline and pushed the boundaries between applied and fine arts. She was central to the pre-WWII European art scene, and a close follower of the Dada movement. Her Dada abstracted sculpted head proved to be an iconic image of her production, and the way she builds bridges between all artistic techniques.Her prodigious output was recognised in the Tate Modern Retrospective exhibition in 2021, and demonstrated her position as one of the most important avant-garde abstract artists of the last century.
