Paul Insect - One-off handwoven rug., by ruggage on Jan 31, 2013 12:11:12 GMT 1, I recently worked with Paul to create an amazing one-off hand knotted rug for a collection made for an exhibition I curated called Rug Addicts.
The rug is currently at his solo NYC show - but was not for sale - it is also about to be shipped back.
The rug was handwoven in Cairo and is a beautiful and unique piece. The rug spent a total of 7 months on the looms and has around 567,800 knots.
The size is 1.65 x 2.22m - so quite a large piece. Paul's signature has been woven into the bottom right hand corner "Pins" with a small skull.
As it is an original rug - the asking price is ยฃ12,000 but as with any rug we would be prepared to haggle.
Some more on the project here - to validate it's authenticity and what we created: foundationrugs.co.uk/
Let me know of any interest. Images below...
Cheers
Mark

Paul Insect - One-off handwoven rug., by ruggage on Feb 4, 2013 20:59:51 GMT 1, Just confirmed with Paul.
We are doing a limited run of 30 hand tufted carpets - made to order. Will be ready in about 6 weeks.
Hand tufted is a slightly quicker and cheaper process than hand knotting so it's ยฃ600 for a rug for the smallest size.
foundationrugs.co.uk/collections/hand-tufted/products/paul-insect-1
Here's the design. We put the first one in to be made - but are available now.
This is the sample from the looms. pic.twitter.com/mFY97CW9

Paul Insect - One-off handwoven rug., by Sacked... on Feb 5, 2013 21:18:10 GMT 1, Email from Ruggage :
"Hi
Thanks for your mail.
There will only be 30 rugs made regardless of size. This is so that people can fit them to their rooms.
The rugs will be signed and numbered by Paul on a piece of Foundation branded leather that will be fastened to the underside of the rug.
There will be a certificate of authenticity too that we'll get him to sign when he signs the leather labels.
Hope that answers everything".
