Présentation du contenu:
The project series documents "Tappeto “Sprofondo”", a rug design by Pettena and produced by the Galleria Speciale in Bari, in 1989, for the "I tappeti della meditazione" project that aimed to "underline the importance of an object that [...] can stimulate other uses and behaviors apart from its simple decorative function." [1] Pettena designed a rug with a pattern creating a sinking illusion, to put emphasis on the feeling of dizziness and imbalance that could come with meditation, rather than serenity and contemplation.

The project series contains various design studies for the pattern of the "Sprofondo" rug, a transparency of the final design, and photographs and a video of the rug.
