CLASSSICON Faubourg rug

Eileen Gray not only created some of the most iconic furniture classics of the 20th century, she also ran a studio that produced rugs based on her designs. Some of her most beautiful designs are part of the ClassiCon rug collection. Based on a gouache by Eileen Gray from the 1920s, Faubourg is the epitome of minimalism: against a square, natural white background, three simple black lines create an exciting dynamic. Two curved lines reference Eileen Gray’s furniture designs – for example the iconic Adjustable Table E1027 – in which circles and curves are recurring motifs. An angular line along one edge of the rug provides an effective contrast to the circular motif. The name of the Faubourg rug is inspired by the location of Gray’s studio on the Rue de Faubourg St. Honoré in Paris.
