Collection Formosa

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Formosa is a collection of rugs designed by the versatile Japanese artist Michael Lin. The name 'Formosa' refers to the historical name given to Taiwan by 16th-century Portuguese sailors. The collection is known for its delicate and attractive style, which merges Pop aesthetics with Taiwanese pictorial tradition.

Design and Aesthetics
The rugs in the Formosa collection are characterized by their ability to transform large, cold, and bland spaces into luminous organic fields with intense shades. This transformation is achieved through the subtle use of color, a hallmark of Lin's work.

Manufacturing and Quality
The rugs are handmade using a specific knotting technique that makes them 40% denser than other hand-knotted rugs. This increased density results in greater weight and improved quality. The rugs are available in red or blue, offering pure harmony in their design.

Tras ella, tres años de meticuloso trabajo para reproducir sobre lana el sutil uso del color de Lin, especializado en transformar grandes espacios fríos y anodinos en luminosos campos orgánicos de intensas tonalidades. El tipo de nudo utilizado para su confección hace que sea un 40% más densa que otras alfombras anudadas...
