The Dessus Dessous Rug by Marcel Zelmanovitch, the founder of Diurne, plays with the notion of volume, as in three-dimensional space. Both in Chinese and French tradition, the visual effect of depth is acquired by « trompe l’œil » visual illusions. The “Dessus-Dessous” collection is defined by the contrasts in the fibre’s composition that give the feel of a multi-layered volume: pure silk on top, followed by a mix of wool and silk, laid on a base entirely made of wool.
After studying art history and visual arts, Marcel Zelmanovitch launched Galerie Diurne in 1982, his studio/exhibition space in the heart of Quartier Latin in Paris. An artist, and accomplished painter, he looks at rugs as though they were blank canvases, on which he can draw his original patterns. Additionally, Marcel wanted to revive Nepal’s artisanal rug-making traditions thanks to his original, one-of-a-kind artworks. Today, Diurne is one of the most sought-after brands for unique rugs, mostly designed by Marcel Zelmanovitch – he has delivered more than 30 collections- alongside special collaborations with contemporary architects and designers.
