Vintage Art Deco Rug by Pierre Cardin, Country Of Origin: France, Circa Date: Mid 20th CenturyPierre Cardin is an icon that most associate with clothing and colognes, but he also branched out into other art forms throughout his continuing career, too. This piece is a mid-century Pierre Cardin carpet that has an Art Deco or mid-century modern feel. The colors and design are classic mid-20th century, but they could easily fit into contemporary design styles.

This vintage carpet has several interesting elements that reflect modern tastes and styles. This carpet has a graphic quality that gives it a three-dimensional quality. Its scale, form, angles, and disappearance points to create the illusion that the piece has three planes, rather than two. Cardin uses asymmetry to create the appearance that the floral shapes have come forward from different points in space.

The pinwheel squares look like mid-century tiles, but the colors could easily fit into a modern palette of neutral grays. The artist used only three tones of gray, black, primary red, deep blue, and white to create the piece. This carpet emphasizes contrast, form, and perspective by using a simple color scheme and geometric forms. The use of highlights, mid-tones, and shadow creates the illusion of depth and distance. Using gray mid-tones for the background emphasizes the dramatic effect of the line and form.

This is a rare vintage piece, and it is signed by the iconic artist. Grays and neutrals are a classic combination that has been a staple since the time when this piece was created. Today’s contemporary designs continue to use neutral grays with a pop of color for a look that is energetic and modern. This piece would fit perfectly into a room with vintage or retro-inspired furniture. It would also be the perfect focal point for an ultramodern style, too. It calls for furniture with simple, geometric shapes, chrome, and glass. It would be the perfect piece for furniture with minimal legs and open spaces beneath them.

The bold style and intense colors of this carpet would be the perfect addition to a minimalist, Swedish modern, or open-plan studio. It adds a bit of intensity and drama with its saturated, color-blocked design and its colorful and contemporary look. A signed mid-century piece by Pierre Cardin is a rare find that does not come around often.
