What image comes to mind when you imagine the concept of Flux?

The very incertitude of conditional terms like “any” and “appears” point to the abstract nature of the concept, which is exactly what Carpet Edition has in mind with the Flux collection, inspired by the “unsung mother of abstract art,” Hilma Af Klint.

First appearing some 10 years before the abstract compositions of Kandinsky and Mondrian, the work of Klint went unrecognized for decades. An extravagant cornucopia of curves and color, of swirls and striations, of unbounded geometric forms soaring across space as solar flares erupting or stars across a milky sky, Klint’s oeuvre captures this abstract notion of organic movement and goes even further—proposing phenomena lacking corollary in the natural world.

Carpet Edition’s take on Klint is grounded in movement and colorful juxtaposition. The three designs—”Tuscan Barren,” “Sunset Tones,” and “After Eight”—embody the dynamism of flux, of transformation and intersection, of flowing in and out.

Carpet Edition says that the collection “reflects abstract forms which seek to visualize a tangible structure for the concept of flux… time, space and limits are the chosen themes which are transformed from abstract ideas into observable concepts.”

Fittingly, these rugs find equal purchase on the wall or on the floor—a tangible way in which they blur the lines, in which they transcend traditional constraints of vertical and horizontal.
