Anni Albers’ Temple Berry

The Temple Berry Rug, designed by the influential Bauhaus textile artist Anni Albers, showcases her masterful approach to geometric abstraction and textile design. This striking piece features a rich berry-red background punctuated by an architectural grid pattern that creates a sense of depth and movement. The design draws inspiration from ancient temple architecture and sacred geometry, with interlocking rectangular forms that seem to float and shift across the surface.

The rug’s sophisticated composition balances bold geometric elements with subtle variations in texture and tone, demonstrating Albers’ exceptional understanding of visual rhythm and material properties. It exemplifies her modernist philosophy of combining artistic expression with functional design, creating a work that serves both as a practical floor covering and as a remarkable piece of textile art.

Crafted with high-quality materials, the rug’s durability matches its aesthetic appeal, making it a timeless addition to both contemporary and mid-century modern interiors. The Temple Berry Rug stands as a testament to Albers’ enduring influence on modern design and her ability to transform traditional weaving techniques into groundbreaking modern art.
