Baka draws inspiration from Gustave Jequier's collections of Pharaonic Egypt, channelling the decorative vocabulary of ancient civilisation into a contemporary vocabulary. The design's border speaks to a sophisticated appreciation of Egyptology and its aesthetic legacy. Hand-tufted in New Zealand wool, the rug demonstrates the craftsmanship and material integrity expected of a thoughtfully considered floor covering. The result is a piece that marries historical reference with modern sensibility, neither revivalist nor purely abstract, but rather a meditation on enduring decorative principles.
