A Geometric Pattern Full of Energy and Vitality: Platinum 120 and Gold 100 (Limited Edition)
The bespoke Illulian, the Milanese brand of luxury handmade rugs, presents the new Ki Rug and the new versions of Ether and Info by Karim Rashid.

Ki Rug
Ki is a tribute to oriental culture and evokes an irresistible energy that inspires movement and change. It is characterised by a geometric pattern full of energy and vitality and stands out for its intriguing design. The use of bright colours such as fluorescent yellow, contrasting with the black background, emphasises the soft curves of the concentric lines that are the protagonists of the design. The shape of the rug matches the geometric design, creating an optical illusion of depth and movement. An authentic explosion of life that transforms spaces, giving them character and personality.

Info (version B)
The new versions of Ether and Info are characterised by neutral tones and new colours. Revised in colour, these models feature complex geometric patterns made up of lines of varying thickness that capture the essence of movement. Delicate and refined, Ether plays with shades of beige, offering a visual spectacle of refined restraint and low contrast. Info features an abstract design with a golden milleraiesque motif. Its unusual and fascinating shape follows the geometry of the decoration, presenting a profile defined by sharp, irregular edges that enhance its originality and modernity.
