Pure wool carpet - Artcurial editions // Carrés Magique by Sonia Delaunay, created around 1980, is a vibrant tapestry that reflects the artist’s signature exploration of color, rhythm, and geometry. This wool carpet, produced by Artcurial editions, is a stunning representation of Delaunay’s abstract style, where squares and rectangles in shades of blue, yellow, black, and cream interlock to create a dynamic, almost musical composition. The repetitive geometry of the squares evokes a sense of movement and energy, a hallmark of Delaunay’s work, which often sought to bring art into everyday objects. The bold color contrasts, along with the soft texture of the wool, make this tapestry both visually striking and tactilely inviting. This piece captures Delaunay’s vision of integrating art and design, blending fine art with functionality in a timeless modernist approach.

What is Orphism?
Orphism is an abstract style of painting influenced by Cubism, developed by Sonia and Robert Delaunay. The term was coined around 1912 by French poet Guillaume Apollinaire to differentiate the Delaunays' work from Cubism, emphasizing their focus on vibrant color and light. The name Orphism is inspired by the Greek musician Orpheus, symbolizing the movement's lyrical and harmonious qualities.
