Concept to Reality: Mafi International Custom Rugs

Concept to Reality

 

If your a designer like me, the imagination never stops and  inspiration is found everywhere. Using the Mafi International 'Signature 16' program, I am able to turn a 'Concept to Reality'.

The above 'Concept to Reality' assemblage is inspired by my travels to Paris while visiting  Porte de Clignancourt, the Grande Dame of Parisian flea markets! I arrived at the last stop via the Metro #4 and without directions, I followed the crowds, two local girls in particular, had the "shopping for treasures" vibe. I tracked them across the street towards the underpass but lost their trail. See, there are two flea markets, the first is a labyrinth of tables showcasing new wares and  knock off clothing.  After asking a  Parisian vendor for directions to the old stuff, I ventured on a few blocks, armed with a visual map. I turned left, just as I was instructed and BAM...timeless treasures and styles danced together, decades and centuries mingled in the winding little streets. Streets of mind blowing beauties.  sprawling over numerous blocks and into alleyways and covered halls that were filled with sellers displaying goods. A designer's dream,hopefully reoccurring, the luscious goodness of Art Deco  and Mid-Century Modern storefronts called my name. One  Art Deco boutique in particular displayed this magnificently handsome, life size, art deco horse. My muse, it called me from the window but alas, I couldn't bring it home so I shot a picture and created an art piece, which morphed into this lovely custom wool and silk rug using the Mafi Signature 16 program. Our 3D visualization tool is a wonderful resource for viewing our custom rugs in different room settings. I created the horse in a square format, but this rug would look amazing in a circular shape as well. Colors can easily be changed, depending on your design scheme. which gives you full control of your project.

Her is where my conceptual horse found its permanent home
