Touch it, walk on it and feel it with your bare feet.

Anton Munar’s vivid artistic manner attains a tactile

dimension in his rug for the Normann x Brask Art

Collection. He has transformed the innate qualities

of pencil drawing and watercolor into the design of an

expressive weave, exploring new forms of expression for

his poetic work.

”After meeting with Jens-Peter Brask and Normann

Copenhagen, I spent some time toying with ideas. My first

thought was to make a Venetian wooden chair or a butter

knife. The rug was my third idea, and it stuck with me.

Two days after our initial meeting, I made a drawing on

a flight back from London. A drawing of a knight playing

the flute. The melody was so beautiful that we cried and

cried. Two Gothic windows for us who cried. The sun and

the moon.” - Anton Munar

The swift nature of Munar’s brushstrokes transmutes

in the meticulous weaving process, where the yarn

is changed every so often in order to reproduce the

sometimes miniscule color changes of the running

watercolors and dispersed strokes. Slowly, the rug

takes shape: shades of nude, purple, brown and green

intermingle on an ivory backdrop and a landscape scene

appears. A sun and a moon hover in the sky and the knight

stands at the fore, enchanting us with his virtuosity.
