During a residency in Fay Billot, a village in the French countryside, designer Marine Hunot worked with rattan and wicker basket craftsman on a project called Ilot (French for ‘island’). The result is a rug that combines two materials – wicker and felt.
You wouldn’t expect to find those two materials together in one object, much less a rug, with its carefully braided rattan center and the way it connects the felt pieces.
The project was made possible by la Drac Champagne Ardennes, l’Orcca, and the réseau champ’art.
