Custom handmade rug after Robert Delaunay‘s painting Premier Disque

This circular rug inspired by Robert Delaunay’s Premier Disque brings a quiet energy into your space. It is not just about colour, though the palette is unforgettable. It is about balance, flow, and the way movement can be felt, not just seen.

The composition builds outward from a deep coral-orange center, with layered arcs in lilac, rose, amber, cobalt, and forest green. Every shade has presence. Together, they hum and resonate. The geometry feels both intuitive and intentional — like it was made to be exactly what it is, nothing more, nothing less.

The round shape softens the space while the colours spark curiosity. It is grounding and playful at once. Ideal for rooms that hold conversation, creativity, or quiet reflection.

Made entirely by hand, this rug can be created in your preferred size and weaving technique. What you are choosing is not just design, but presence. A piece of art that lives with you and reflects who you are, with grace and personality.

About the artwork this rug is inspired on: Premier Disque

Robert Delaunay painted Premier Disque over a century ago, and it still feels fresh. At the time, he was breaking every rule of traditional painting, choosing colour over realism, rhythm over representation.

This work was one of the first to explore abstraction through circular motion. There is no figure, no object — only colour, contrast, and energy. It is like music without lyrics. Pure feeling.

When translated into a rug, Premier Disque becomes something you experience with every step. It is a way of living with art that is alive, fluid, and full of intention.

About the artist: Robert Delaunay

“The eye is the most refined of our senses, the one which communicates most directly with our mind, our consciousness.”

Robert Delaunay

Robert Delaunay (1885–1941) was a French painter whose joyful exploration of colour and movement helped shape the very foundations of modern abstract art. A visionary among the pioneers of the early 20th century, Delaunay saw colour as something living — not merely a pigment on canvas, but a force that could express rhythm, light, and the spirit of modern life.

His signature style, later called Orphism, weaves together geometry and luminosity with a musical sensibility — paintings that feel as if they are pulsing, breathing, almost dancing before your eyes. As art critic Robert Hughes once wrote, “Delaunay’s art was a continuous exploration of the vitality, power, and sheer beauty of colour.”

During his lifetime, his work was shown in leading exhibitions across Europe and the United States. Today, his paintings continue to energize rooms and minds alike — not only through their dazzling chromatic balance but through the sensation they leave behind: a sense of openness, optimism, and possibility.
