Italian Postmodern Textile Art & Rugs

This Italian red wool rug designed by Paola Lenti in the 1990s captures her innovative approach to textile design. Featuring a bold abstract floral motif in deep blue and white tones against a vivid red background, the rug reflects Lenti’s distinctive sense of colour balance, materiality, and form. Its soft wool surface provides both comfort and sculptural presence, ideal for enhancing modern or eclectic interiors.

Paola Lenti’s innovative use of colour and texture

Lenti is renowned for her ability to transform traditional materials into contemporary works of design art. This piece demonstrates her signature combination of functionality and expressive form, turning a simple wool surface into a dynamic, tactile statement. The rug’s abstract design draws inspiration from natural silhouettes, reinterpreted through a modern Italian lens.

A collectible example of postmodern textile craftsmanship

This rug exemplifies the artisanal quality and artistic experimentation that define Lenti’s work. Its bold palette and refined craftsmanship make it not only a functional floor covering but also a decorative centrepiece that brings warmth and personality to any interior.
