Custom handmade rug after Theo van Doesburg‘s painting Study for Composition XXV
This rug translates Theo van Doesburg’s Study for Composition XXV into a clean, architectural textile. Made by hand, it follows the artist’s bold yet minimal composition: intersecting verticals and horizontals in primary tones create a calm visual rhythm. Every colored block has intention, every line a clear direction. Balanced and open, this rug brings quiet clarity into the room.

About the artwork this rug is inspired on: Study for Composition XXV
Created in 1923 during Van Doesburg’s Neoplasticist phase, Study for Composition XXV explores spatial balance through pure form. Using only horizontals, verticals, and primary colors, Van Doesburg sought harmony through structure and reduction. The study, now in the Kröller-Müller Museum, reflects the essence of De Stijl: thoughtful simplicity with architectural clarity.
About the artist: Theo van Doesburg
“We speak of concrete and not abstract painting because nothing is more concrete, more real than a line, a color, a surface.”
Theo van Doesburg
Theo van Doesburg (1883–1931) was a Dutch artist, designer, and visionary who co-founded the De Stijl movement alongside Piet Mondrian. His work is known for geometric precision, primary colors, and a disciplined harmony that influenced modern art, design, and architecture.
Originally influenced by Van Gogh and the Amsterdam Impressionists, van Doesburg shifted toward abstraction after reading Kandinsky. He believed in art as a means to express pure ideas—using line, color, and form to achieve universal balance.
In 1922, he brought De Stijl to the Bauhaus in Weimar, expanding its influence across disciplines. He collaborated with major figures like Sophie Taeuber-Arp, El Lissitzky, and Kurt Schwitters, bridging modernism and Dada while staying rooted in structure and clarity.
His works—now housed in MoMA, Centre Pompidou, and Stedelijk—remain a testament to the power of reduction, rhythm, and refined form.
