'After Matisse' Spot Rug

‘After Matisse’ is a vibrant sculptural piece of floor/wall art, inspired by Matisse’s paper cut-outs. This spot rug is a slightly smaller version of the original 'After Matisse' design. This irregular shaped rug has a sculptural quality with pile height variations and hand carving. The design is created from a playful collage of 26 hand dyed wools, replicating the effect of colour mixing. This piece works beautifully in both modern and traditional interiors adding colour and , vibrancy.
