Umbra
Light colours everything it touches, and together with its shadows, it creates depth and ever-changing patterns. Studies into the movement of light on surfaces and the projections created are a favoured subject of artists such as James Turrell, Peter Alexander and William Turner, painters beloved of Maria Gabriella Zecca, who draws her inspiration from them for her Umbra rugs. The unaligned and deliberately disproportionate composition makes it easy to combine two rugs of different shapes and sizes to create unique compositions and expand the floor area covered.
