Ruckstuhl’s new edition carpet: the Frisian Wouw

Frisian Wouw, the felt carpet which Claudy Jongstra designed as part of Edition Ruckstuhl, is distinguished in particular by its irregular contours and wild, frenzied texture – this can be seen as an allusion

to the archaic character of felt – it is not an accident that the yellow color, which gives the carpet an unbelievably warm and cosy aura, evokes associations with the golden age of Dutch painting, when masters such as Rembrandt used Photo by Rucksthul from the mignonette (reseda) plant (also known as dyer’s rocket).
