Eudoxia Rug was designed by Ana Aragão and named after one of the invisible Cities of Italo Calvino. Hand-tufted by Ferreira de Sá (one of the oldest companies dedicated to traditional tapestry in Portugal), the drawing has given rise to a unique edition of rugs. 

“In Eudoxia, which spreads both upward and down, with winding alleys, steps, dead ends, hovels, a carpet is preserved in which you can observe the city’s true form. At first sight, nothing seems to resemble Eudoxia less than the design of that carpet, laid out in symmetrical motives whose patterns are repeated along straight and circular lines (…)”

Just like in Eudoxia, the artist has created a city to be seen from above, as if from the sky. All four sides may be the bottom or the top, creating a perspective rupture and bringing the “visitor” inside the rug, as if experiencing the vortex of Alice in Wonderland.
