Igloo was invited to participate in the unprecedented project to design an original hand-knotted rug and to exhibit it at the Franz Mayer Museum in Mexico City.

The Igloo team’s experience in this project was very evident in the results of their design. Monica has undergraduate experience at UAM and international exposure from Cranbrook, one of the most respected design and art schools in  Michigan. Griselda compliments this ability through her experience from Escuela Nacional de las Artes and her unflinching dedication to her studio.

Together they developed “Submarino”. This is a 100- line tibetan weave rug with spectacular use of color, texture and balance which clearly illustrates Igloo’s mastery of graphic design application to unconventional objects.

During the opening night, “Submarino” was one of the most popular pieces of the exhibit and Odabashian is certain will mark the first of many collaborations with the excellent Igloo team.

Benito Cabañas – Poster art knotted by hand in wool and silk!

For thousands of years hand-knotted rugs have been used as a graphical form of expression through the use of color, texture and material. In our age of interconnectedness and globalization, it is only logical to begin to assume that all forms of graphical expression can instigate personal reflection and introspection. Hand made rugs are not the exception!

Benito Cabañas, a renown poster and graphic artist from the exquisite colonial city of Puebla through his company Abracadabra, participated in Odabashian’s exhibit at the Franz Mayer Museum of decoriative and applied arts in Mexico City called “Tapetes – Anudando historias, enlazando ideas”.

His contribution to the collection called “Libertad” (Freedom) is representative of his extraordinary career. In it he follows his exceptional ability to communicate powerful ideas with minimal graphical resources.

Renata Becerril, curator of the exhibit describes:

“For millenia, rugs have always expressed deep graphical symbolism as a secondary function of their intended design use as a surface covering. Geometrical patterns, natural motifs and colors express meanings in each of the geographical locations where the rugs are woven. In his piece, Benito uses contemporary language using the ancient medium”

Benito Cabañas inspects his rug for the first time at the Franz Mayer Museum on opening night.

Odabashian prides itself in promoting and collaborating not only emerging talent across different geographies, but also in applying the best quality to each project. Contact us to explore how we do this!

Emiliano Godoy’s “FM” – Visualizing the invisible on a hand-knotted rug

One of Mexico’s emerging design giants, Emiliano Godoy’s approach to rug design is as brilliant as it is unconventional.

An industrial designer from Pratt Institute’s graduate program (New York, 2004), with a BA degree in industrial design from Universidad Iberoamericana (Mexico City, 1997) and furniture design studies from the Danish Design School (2003). He runs the design firm Godoylab, and is the design director of the furniture manufacturer Pirwi.

His custom rug, “FM” exhibited at “Tapetes- Anudando Historias, Enlazando ideas” at the Franz Mayer Museum in Mexico City, attempts to reveal what the eye does not see. In this rug design, he materializes invisible FM waves propagating through space through the masterful use of color, material and texture. The statement is a powerful one that re-asserts the observers’ context in reality: Just because sensory inputs a person receives are not perceived, does not mean they are not real.

Renata Becerril, curator of the exhibit quotes Mexican Philosopher Manuel de Landa:

“We live in a world inhabited by a complex mix of geological, biological, social and linguistic structures that are simply clusters formed by and hardened by history”

“FM” was featured on the cover of Estilo Magazine in June 2011 as well as other publications such as Entremuros and Rugdesign Blog.
