Dezeen Showroom: architecture studio TenBerke worked with US brand Warp & Weft to create a rug collection informed by dawn, midday and dusk.

The Light and Shadow rug collection comprises ten rugs that, like TenBerke's architecture and interiors, show attentiveness to how light changes over the course of the day.

The three Dawn rug designs were inspired by the early morning light as it washes over a surface, with variations of wool and silk creating soft transitions, while the three Midday designs attempt to capture the crisp definition of line and texture that comes into focus under a high sun.

"The Midday collection epitomises the detailing of our work," said TenBerke partner Kiki Denis. "The designs appear clearly composed and almost straightforward, but the colouration and materiality reveals a depth and richness that becomes personal and interactive."

The final four rugs take their cues from the movement of shadows at dusk, primarily through a muted palette with depth and dimension created through varied pile heights.

"This restraint in the palette assures the rugs are timeless and textural, although the hemp silk rug in the collection has a shot of colour evoking the last brilliant hues glimpsed as the sun disappears below the horizon," said Dennis.
