Dégradé

DÉGRADÉ was created in 1990 as part of a Swiss rug edition, for which selected architects and interior designers developed their own designs. Trix and Robert Haussmann designed two very different rugs for this: DÉGRADÉ and STRIPES.

DÉGRADÉ is a free, motif-based design. At its center is a technically sophisticated color effect that connects to Robert Haussmann’s engagement with color theories. At the same time, the rug refers to those design works in which Haussmann explored the possibilities of different materials and textile manufacturing techniques.

Ruckstuhl brings this design into the present and combines a piece of Swiss design history with forward-looking material innovation: The COLLECTION TRIX & ROBERT HAUSSMANN is the world’s first rug collection whose upper layer is made of 60% recycled wool – sourced from no longer worn garments, such as high-quality winter coats.
