Gold Fish rug is inspired by watercolor paintings, and the designers have expertly matched the colors to convey the softness of the medium through luxurious silk and wool. The outline of the rugs features the movement of underwater life in the waters of the Japanese Koi Pond, with blue, green, and red streaks of color adding a touch of drama and movement.
The fragmentary method used in the design, with an asymmetric composition that seems to have been captured by the camera from the continuous stream of life, embodies the contemplative attitude towards life that is prevalent in Japanese culture. The emerald vortices of the Koi pond waters are punctuated by the golden flash of fish scales, adding a touch of intimacy and mystery.
