As in a snapshot, the new Leaf Time rug, designed by Emanuele Missaglia for Carpet Edition, freezes time by grasping at the ephemeral to pause it in an infinite moment that challenges the very nature of the flow of things. The weave of the rug becomes the custodian of the leaf’s time, preserving its fragile beauty and letting it live forever.

Leaf Time not only captures the essence of an eternal moment, but also illustrates the structural complexity of a leaf. The realistic reproduction of its anatomy, expertly crafted using various pile heights, give depth to the surface of the rug.
The leaf blade, midrib and veins rise in a sharper relief, following the delicate branchlike network which gives structure and definition to the design. In contrast, the irregular carvings and jagged shapes, which evoke the image of slow decomposition which evidence the change of seasons that has passed since that moment, are distinguished by a lower pile height, creating interplay between full and empty spaces.

Crafted using a rich combination of Viscose and Bamboo, Leaf Time is offered in two sizes (250×300 cm – 300×400 cm) and various colour versions. Leaf Time in Blue is distinguished by cool tones in shades of blue and grey, while Leaf Time in Mart explores a warmer colour palette, featuring elegant shades of gold and beige.
