Mesh
From Fiorella Fasciati
Material: Wool
Application areas: Lounge, Residential
For the Area and Mesh carpets which were created as part of Edition Ruckstuhl, Fasciati made a conscious decision to utilise a production technology in common use at the firm and to explore its design potential in an entirely new manner. With the selection of hand tufting, the carpet’s structure became an obvious choice for the central design theme which, characterised by its interplay of inclusion and exclusion, cannot be perceived in the visual realm alone. This is because the pattern is produced in large part by the use of a pile of varying length, giving the carpet a three-dimensional structure and making it a tactile floor experience.

Fiorella Fasciati
For quite practical reasons, Fiorella Fasciati started her career by training to become a primary school teacher. In 1977 she moved to Basel where she took evening courses at the Basel School of alongside her teaching work. Soon thereafter, she completed a four-year course of training to become a textile designer. Once she completed her studies – where carpets were already a subject of particular interest – and received her degree, she was hired as the first in-house designer for Ruckstuhl. Fasciati began investigating colour, developing simple patterns, promoting the production of the first area carpets and designing the company’s presentations. Since 1997 she has been working as a freelance designer. Colour has increasingly come to be the focus of her design activities. In 1998 she began teaching at the Basel School of Design, where in 2001 she was commissioned to set up and supervise a two-year further education course in textile design.
