Fragment I – Structures
by OEO Studio
The new series of luxurious carpets by OEO Studio for massimo has a distinctly graphic character. The image – or signifier – is after all the particular legacy of man’s presence on earth through millennia. Where two colours meet, their contours are hand cut. This procedure helps eachmotif to stand out. Whilst the process is time-consuming, the result is certainly something to treasure.

Design
Thomas Lykke and Anne-Marie Buemann, founders of OEO Studio, have established a distinct aesthetic which bridges the difference between individual detail and overall décor. Their work can be seen in individual homes, hotels, furniture production and other applications.
Their philosophy allows for each project to develop its own ‘soul’. This is a factor of both the natural materials they use and the vision a customer has in mind – as is the case with massimo’s ‘Fragments’ series. Colours and materials are often deployed in unexpected ways – each time taking inspiration from their potential to provide a convivial backdrop for human interaction

Fabrication by hand gives a characteristic structure Fragments 1-5 is moreover enlivened by a particular mood board; swatches were chosen with the special insight of a spring lockdown. Thomas Lykke calls it ‘modern-era design humanism’ - lustrous tones that awaken our senses and a range of colours wholly within the tradition of massimo.
The luxurious signified
The designer often has a ‘toolbox’ - a reserve of ideas and impressions gleaned from various cultures and epochs over a lifetime. Thomas revisits his own. As a result, OEO Studio has drawn up a novel take on the transfer of meaning. Semiotics comes into play in a series of hand-tufted carpets, where the signifier is a sign or image: signified is the concept to which it refers. In this case, rugs you might want to hang on the wall as works of art.
