‘Designer annette Nix, has turned her attentions to the floor, creating rugs that are more elemental art than carpets. Incorporating unusual materials, such as chainmail, pebbles and pools of water in her work, Nix turns her rugs into symbols of issues which concern her. The most recent is a deep moss-green carpet called Emptiness with floating candles and sunflower heads at one end and a pebble cross at the other ‘.

Contemporary designers are using ancient skills to redefine the rug as an artwork. Neither shape nor materials are constraints for avant-garde designer Annette Nix ‘s installation rugs, which bridge the gap between conceptual art and design. She says that a rug with decorative curves can soften a linear, angular room. Many of her “big statement” rug commissions have incorporated unexpected materials: white stones to echo a Zen-like courtyard; cactus on moss-green rug leading to a swimming pool in a home with glass walls and staircase; even live fish in a tank in a home full of glass furniture’.

‘Hoovering demands a new level of skill for the owner of this dramatic rug by Annette Nix. Although recessed in pile, the pebbles are real enough as are the sunflower heads floating in a mirrored dish of water. Hand-tufted in pure wool, the rugs are described by Nix as “conceptual”. They would certainly add wit and style to the mapled acreage of your urban loft. Those with children or pets might do better to commission one of her carpets incorporating slate, perspex or chainmail, which she uses to equally striking effect’.
