Renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma has collaborated with Indian brand Jaipur Rugs to create "Faces," a collection of 16 wool rugs that translate his iconic architectural designs into tactile art. Exhibited at Milan Design Week, the collection aims to capture the "sensory memory of architecture," moving beyond visual replication to evoke the experiential qualities of Kuma's buildings through texture, pattern, and material.
Inspired by landmarks like the Albert Kahn Museum, each rug represents a dialogue between Japanese architectural philosophy and Indian artisanal craftsmanship. The project highlights the potential of cross-disciplinary collaboration, blurring the lines between architecture and product design, and offering a unique way for individuals to connect with spatial experiences through intimate, floor-bound art.
