CR - Zoe Luyendijk Modern Rugs

What distinguishes the carpets from the Zoe Luyendijk studio (pronounced lion-dike) is that while each has the immediate impact of something unusual, their lasting appeal stems from the free-spirited originality at the source of each design. Over time, the carpets continue to reward and yield unexpected discoveries. There is more going on here than first meets the eye-beyond beauty, there is depth, substance, resonance. Each design is the result of a deeply personal exploration-on one hand playful, unbridled, the other-intense, uncompromising and tenacious. Once committed, an idea is never explored halfway. Inspiration from nature - the colours and forms of coastal waters and forests. Inspiration from myths - the stories that cut across time and cultures. Inspiration from artists that have traveled before her. Ultimately, she responds to something uniquely her own.
