At RUG STAR, we are thrilled to introduce the extraordinary MZ Collection, a collaborative project with Mary Zio, a talented artist from North Carolina, USA.
Through close collaboration with Mary, we had the honor of translating her stunning art designs into exquisite hand-knotted Persian rugs, resulting in a collection that encompasses nearly 20 magnificent pieces. Crafted with the utmost precision and using the finest silk and wool, these rugs arrived in Berlin in autumn 2021 and are currently showcased in an exclusive exhibition at our warehouse.
The MZ Collection is a captivating reflection of abstract expressionism, drawing inspiration from the vibrant coloration and artistic movements of the interior world in the 1940s and 1950s. Each rug within the collection embodies the essence of this influential era, combining bold and dynamic designs with a harmonious blend of colors.
In the second generation of the MZ Collection, we underwent a notable shift from focusing on outlining to emphasizing texture. This evolution allowed us to accentuate the intricate details of Mary’s art, bringing it to life in a new and captivating dimension. Each rug within the collection showcases an extraordinary interplay of textures, elevating the overall artistic experience and making it truly exceptional.
To ensure the highest quality, the MZ Collection features a 9/9 Persian knot quality meticulously produced in Jaipur, India. This knot quality ensures durability and longevity, making these rugs not only works of art but also functional pieces for your home or space.
Furthermore, we employed a special surface execution technique known as sandblasting to give the rug’s surface a luxurious velvet appearance. This meticulous process adds a soft and velvety texture to the rug, enhancing its overall visual and tactile appeal.
To further showcase the beauty and artistry of the MZ Collection, we embarked on a brilliant interior shoot production, capturing the essence of these pieces within a stylish Berlin loft. The resulting visual display is a stunning testament to the true beauty and artistic prowess of the collection.
Looking ahead, we are thrilled to announce that plans are underway to bring the MZ Collection on a roadshow across the United States. This roadshow will allow audiences to experience the extraordinary allure of the collection firsthand. We invite you to stay tuned for updates on this exciting journey as we share the dates and locations of the exhibition.
The MZ Collection represents a harmonious fusion of art and rug craftsmanship, capturing the spirit of abstract expressionism while honoring the architectural dimension of rug art in modern architecture. These exquisite rugs, born out of a collaboration between Mary Zio and RUG STAR, epitomize the beauty, creativity, and innovation that lie at the heart of our brand.
Prepare to be captivated by the breathtaking artistry of the MZ Collection as we continue to celebrate its extraordinary beauty and prepare to bring these remarkable pieces to homes and spaces around the world.
