Rêves d'Orient illustrates the critical intersection between fashion and design, where couture meets custom-tufted carpets. Takada reinterprets the rug, taking it beyond fashion or home decor, evoking instead a luxurious, gracious, and fashionable lifestyle. Wools and silks are united in a single weft, creating complex textures that catch the light in different ways. The patterns are complex, with designs layered one on top of the next. Like the designs, the colour palette is sensitively calibrated; the layering of numerous colours is so subtle that it gives the initial impression of just a single, complex hue.
