Recalling Brittain’s work juxtaposing leather tassels with stone, Magma presents a broad geological landscape as a setting for the edition’s more intricate creature-inspired designs. The carpet’s dark colorway evokes a sense of movement reminiscent of lava flow, while silk highlights a brilliance beneath, just beginning to reveal itself in the cracks. This design is expertly tufted by skilled artisans.
