Bring expressionist and poetic art into your home with this spectacular tufted wool art rug, bearing the woven signature of the famous painter Corneille. Co-founder of the mythical avant-garde movement CoBrA, the artist here unleashes all his magic through a fantastic and colorful bestiary. A true floor painting with a dense and warm texture, this colorful rug is a sought-after collector's item that will boldly awaken the most exclusive interiors.

The Artist's Universe & Design

The graphic design of this rug is a hymn to life, freedom, and the creative spontaneity characteristic of Corneille.

Symbolic Iconography: It features the artist's entire personal mythology: the lyrical blue bird, the triumphant sun, a stylized human figure, and a striped green cat.

The CoBrA Aesthetic: Naive, primitive, and vigorous forms that break free from academic rules, emphasized by powerful black lines that structure the composition like a contemporary stained-glass window.

The Play of Colors: The ocher beige background beautifully highlights the dynamism of primary colors (intense ultramarine blue, vibrant red, and emerald green), bringing immense visual warmth to the space.

Features

A Work of Art in Its Own Right: This rug has a dual function: it can be laid classically on the floor in a living room or hung on the wall as a monumental tapestry.

Absolute Comfort & Noble Material: Made of pure virgin wool, it offers a thick, dense, and remarkably soft pile underfoot.

Woven Signature: The artist's signature "Corneille" is directly integrated into the weaving at the top right, guaranteeing its authenticity.

💡 Gallery Owner's Style Tip

"This rug is so graphic that it should be treated as the centerpiece of the living room. To highlight it, pair it with minimalist furniture from the 50s to 70s: a glass and metal coffee table (to let the patterns show through underneath) or a minimalist sofa in white bouclé fabric or black leather. The contrasting effect will be absolutely striking!"
