OCTOBER 2021 / Saturn carpet by Nicolas Aubagnac
Report at Amélie-Margot Chevalier and cover of the magazine featuring nicolas Aubagnac’s SATURNE carpet presented by Galerie OAK at the Villa Capeyron Blanc until October 8, 2021.
The Saturn carpet is an ode to the night, to space, to the cosmos. On a vast expanse of blues with subtle shades, the stars delicately sparkle in the form of moons woven with silk thread. This carpet is woven by hand, in Iran, in a workshop where men and women each participate in the development of the carpet, in the respect of an ancestral tradition.
The wool comes from the city of Shiraz, the dyes are made from natural pigments. Each carpet is exposed and cleaned in the sun for a long time in order to fix its colors forever.
