NEW ORIGINS
Aline de Laforcade
A textile landscape with a solid base for warm minimalism
The NEW ORIGINS collection, designed by Aline de Laforcade, proposes a return to the essential through a textile landscape that seeks solidity and balance. Inspired by the artisanal traditions of the Mediterranean, the proposal uses fiber and texture to create surfaces that function as tactile refuges, moving away from the superfluous to embrace a warm and deeply human minimalism.
The key to its design lies in the architecture of its fibers, merging a structured jute base with wool in different pile heights. This contrast generates a sense of home and protection, offering a visually sober but sensorially rich base that stabilizes any environment. NEW ORIGINS celebrates the imperfection of natural matter, transforming ancestral legacy into a contemporary language that provides calm and belonging, and where each rug becomes a fragment of nature that connects design and manual work in a cozy space.

“Origins are not static; they evolve through materials and gestures. Rather than reproducing the past, I am interested in giving continuity to its spirit. Ancestral tactile languages transform over time as materials, techniques, and contexts change. New Origins explores that continuity between ancestral knowledge and contemporary design”
