Read what our clients have written about their custom art rugs.

There is something utterly exhilarating about this rug. It does not simply decorate a space—it flies through it. Inspired by Olga Rozanova’s Flight of an Airplane (1916), this bespoke handmade runner rug transforms a bold moment in art history into a living, walkable work of art. Our design honours the radical spirit of Rozanova while expanding her vision into a vibrant, irregularly shaped composition that lifts and energises any interior.

Each of the 14 colour shades has been carefully custom-dyed to preserve the painter’s vivid palette and expression. From fiery orange to electric fuchsia, deep emerald, ultramarine, golden yellow and rich brown—every tone was chosen and tuned to express both contrast and motion. The rug becomes a flowing structure of pure chromatic rhythm, its elongated shape evoking both the path of flight and the spirit of avant-garde experimentation.

This rug is not for the faint of heart. It is a confident, joyful presence—perfect for those who love colour, movement, and a powerful connection to art.

About the artwork this rug is inspired on: Flight of an Airplane

Created during the height of Russia’s Futurist and Suprematist movements, Rozanova’s Flight of an Airplane breaks away from traditional composition and narrative. Shapes intersect and collide with powerful angularity, colour is no longer descriptive but emotional and abstract, and the entire work captures a sense of force, motion, and freedom. It is a painting about moving forward—not just through space, but through perception and the future of art itself.

Our rug interprets this energy into a dynamic floor piece that reshapes the artwork while keeping its essence intact: bold geometry, unrestrained colour, and pure visual propulsion.

The artist: Olga Rozanova

“We propose to liberate painting from its subservience to the ready-made forms of reality and to make it first and foremost a creative, not a reproductive, art.”

Olga Rozanova

Olga Rozanova was one of the most pioneering voices of the Russian avant-garde. Associated with movements like Cubo-Futurism and Suprematism, she believed in a radical redefinition of visual language. Her work pushed boundaries and challenged conventions, seeking to “liberate painting from its subservience to the ready-made forms of reality.”

Though her life was brief, her impact remains profound. Rozanova’s vision continues to inspire generations of artists and designers who seek boldness, freedom, and the poetic force of colour.

Now, her vision lives anew in this singular handmade rug—bringing that same fearless energy into the heart of your home.
