Maren
Material: /sea/SILKE
Maren, a Scandinavian name meaning ‘of the sea,’ takes a more structured approach to the language of NAVIGATOR. The pattern has a distinctly Scandinavian sensibility, combining clean geometry with a restrained, balanced composition. A defined border frames a combination of angles and circles, creating a sense of order inspired by the precision and geometry of ancient maps and navigational charts.
The background is constructed in loop pile, providing a softly textured foundation, while flourishes of cut pile are introduced throughout the design. These changes in pile height create subtle relief and allow the cut pile to catch the light, bringing definition and movement to the otherwise ordered composition.
Hand-knotted in /sea/SILKE™, Maren combines traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary material. The fibre's soft handle, subtle lustre and responsiveness to light enhance the contrast between the loop and cut pile, revealing different qualities of the surface as the rug is viewed from different angles.
The result is a design that balances Scandinavian simplicity, navigational geometry and traditional craftsmanship — bringing structure and tactility together in a contemporary interpretation of the sea.
