About This Rug
Inspired by a voronoi pattern - a motif found in maths, science and nature, where it is perhaps most instantly recognisable as the pattern of a giraffe’s skin. Variance in the pile adds a frame around each shape, which is further highlighted by hand woven silk details.
Known for their gentle contours and colours, Michael Young’s designs combine a minimalist industrial aesthetic with a distinctly playful sense of humour. Born in Britain but now based in Hong Kong and Brussels, Young has spent over two decades pushing at the boundaries of experimental design, whether working on projects for the likes Cappellini, Magis and The Conran Shop, or taking on high-profile interiors commissions in the Far East.
