"Geometric Wonders" – Inspired by the interplay of shapes, this collection invites you to discover the symphony of lines, angles, and patterns found in architecture and urban landscapes. Each rug reflects the beauty of symmetry, with clean lines and balanced designs.

This statement piece won't cease to amaze and brings a fresh perspective on choosing art to hang on your wall. Tufting is the modern-day reinvention of the ancient art of tapestry, and as such, it belongs in every art lover's home wanting to stay ahead of their time. Textile as a medium adds a level of warmth and texture that can be physically felt through the touch of the yarn—its depth, density, and the sculpted shapes within it.

In our view, Anna's work stands in direct lineage with Optical and Kinetic Art, which first emerged in the Movement exhibition at Denise René's Paris gallery in 1955, and more recently celebrated at 2013 "The Dynamo" retrospective at galeries du Grand Palais. It also connects more broadly with what was later termed Perceptual Art at The Responsive Eye exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1965. It questions the notions of space, vision, and light—and we truly love it.

We hope you will too, and make these wonders yours to enjoy every day by bringing 'The Eyes' into your interior.
