Based on a gouache by Eileen Gray from the 1920s, Faubourg is the epitome of minimalism: set against a square, natural white background, three simple black lines create an exciting dynamic. Two curved lines provide a reference to Eileen Gray's furniture designs, for example the iconic Adjustable Table E1027, in which circles and curves are recurring motifs. An angled line running along one edge of the rug forms an effective contrast to the circular motif. The name of the Faubourg Rug was inspired by the location of Gray's studio on Rue de Faubourg St. Honoré in Paris.
Eileen Gray not only created some of the most important 20th century furniture classics but also had her own studio where rugs were produced according to her designs. Some of her most beautiful patterns are now again available: masterpieces of abstract textile art of 100% pure new wool, natural vegetable dye, hand-woven and processed to the highest quality with a density of 80 knots per square inch.
