Fabien Baron Rugs

Claire Sullivan - Tuesday, August 03, 2010

 

 

 

The carpet collection is inspired by Liquid Light, a single-volume monograph assembled from the personal work of Fabien Baron. Spanning twenty years and two continents, the collection draws from over 2,000 photographs taken on the coasts of Eastern America, Western Europe, and the Mediterranean. The book chronicles Baron's transformation of concrete, geographical sites into abstract tableaux. Utilizing long exposure for each image, Baron reveals the most essential aspect of his subject matter: light.
The process of making the rugs is complex, the wool is dyed and lightened by a slight percentage so the transition and fading of color is subtle. The collection is available in charcoal, stone grey, fire, grass green, ink blue, orange, olive, and gold.
