The Vanguardias Kilim collection, designed by Sandra Figuerola, is a proposal with an explosive geometric design poised to break away from prevailing schemes of sobriety. The designer has delved into the different avant-garde movements, from Dadaism to Futurism and Constructivism, to create a proposal with powerful geometry and a vibrant chromatic palette.
The avant-garde movements are a great cultural and artistic reference for the designer, from which she often draws for the conception of many of her projects due to the possibilities they offer for the development of a contemporary language. For the Vanguardias collection, rather than using one of her pictorial techniques, she has worked almost prioritizing color over drawing, trying to find a balance between a selection of luminous, vibrant, and sophisticated tones.
The objective of this geometric and colorful proposal is for the Vanguardias kilims to function as the focal point of a space, as if they were a work of art. Simple pieces that, while being a very accessible resource, are capable of generating a great visual and spatial impact.
