Pieces turns the tennis court into a rug

-
Anna Frattini

The Clay Court series by Pieces transforms the graphic aesthetic of tennis courts into a collection of rugs. The clean, recognizable geometries are reinterpreted through a palette of orange and green tones that heighten the visual impact of each composition, turning every piece into an almost painterly presence within the home.

Handcrafted using the hand-tufting technique, the rugs are made from a blend of wool and viscose. The use of different tufting techniques creates surfaces with varying pile heights and textures, adding depth to the design and emphasizing the contrast between the geometric shapes that recall the lines of sports courts. The yarns, hand-dyed before the making process, are tufted onto a 100% woven cotton backing.

The result is a collection that plays with the language of sport, transforming it into a decorative element with a strong graphic impact. The lines that mark out the courts become essential signs crossing the rug’s surface, creating abstract compositions that almost resemble minimalist canvases.

In this reinterpretation, the tennis court loses its original function and becomes a visual pattern made of chromatic contrasts, bold color fields, and clean geometries. The intense, luminous tones amplify the perception of the shapes, while the variations in texture allow the lines and areas of color to emerge dynamically depending on the light and the viewer’s point of view.
