The Turtle Rug designed by Federica Tondato traces back to an unplanned detour: while filming a documentary among Tibetan refugee artisans in Dharamshala, Tondato first sketched the abstract patterns that would become her earliest rug designs. For her, a rug must function as architecture — a flat object with the power to reshape the volume of an entire room.
Woven in 100% wool, the Turtle rug carries one of Tondato’s most enduring motifs, its rounded, shell-like pattern built from the same instinct for architectural volume that guides all her work. The design proves her long-held belief that even a rug laid flat underfoot can alter how a room feels to move through, turning a floor into a considered, sculptural surface.
Federica Tondato has been passionate about weaving techniques from a young age and studied architecture between London and New York. For her, a rug ‘needs to be architecture’. More than decorating a surface, her creations rebuild, open, enlarge and compliment a space. The graphic poetry of her rugs are displayed by the exquisite curves of the embroidery, with its endless permutations, in perfect balance with the shapes. Symbols and motifs give meaning to her work and along with the interplay of lines, complement the tactile relief and seductive textures of her rugs.
