DESCRIPTION
Description

Hugo refused to choose between floor and wall, between craft and art, between ancient symbols and invented languages. These hand-hooked pieces exist in the space between definitions—which is exactly where interesting things live.

MARKET DISCOVERY = on a rainy Saturday morning in Carpentras. The kind of find that happens when you're hunting through stalls while everyone else is seeking shelter—Hugo's hand-hooked rebellion rescued from the indifference of a provincial market. One tapestry conjures vegetal forms in motion, the other deploys cryptic graphics that could be prehistoric cave paintings or tomorrow's alphabet.

MATERIAL DEMOCRACY = at its finest. Lay them beneath a low table, hang them in a hallway, or let them migrate between floor and wall as the mood strikes. Wool that's been hand-hooked doesn't care about your rules—it just wants to be touched, walked on, lived with.

FOLKLORIC FUTURES = without the nostalgia trap. Form meeting tradition, but twisted through a contemporary lens that makes the ancient feel urgent again. Tactile, irregular, undeniably alive—the way textiles should be.

Step on this art (carefully).
