Guy de Lussigny Geometric Abstract Rug / Tapestry for Tisca France

This striking large-scale piece (170 × 170 cm) translates the visual language of French abstract artist Guy de Lussigny into textile form, produced in France by the renowned manufacturer Tisca. Lussigny was a key figure in geometric abstraction and hard-edge painting, known for his precise compositions, refined spatial relationships, and restrained yet dynamic visual language. His work often explored the tension between form and space with near-mathematical clarity — a quality clearly echoed in this textile piece.

The composition embodies the clarity of geometric abstraction: floating squares, subtly shifted planes, and a bold diagonal red line create a refined spatial tension. The field is rendered in a deep, mottled anthracite-grey tone, enriched with subtle tonal variations that give the surface a painterly depth while maintaining a restrained and sophisticated presence. Fine white outlines emphasize precision and structure.

Notably, the piece functions with equal strength both as a floor covering and as a wall-mounted work. When displayed vertically, it takes on a distinctly artistic presence, bridging the boundary between functional design and visual art — a true “painting in textile form.”

Produced in France by Tisca, one of the leading European manufacturers of architectural textiles in the second half of the 20th century, the rug reflects a period when textiles played an integral role in shaping modern interiors. Tisca frequently collaborated with designers and artists, creating pieces that blurred the line between design object and artwork.

A rare and sophisticated collector’s textile.
