This carpet, designed by Pierre Balmain in the 70s in France, represents a rare example of the "Kyoto" motif, was produced in Belgium by the Van Neder company. Work in wool, it has a design that is the fusion of geometric and floral elements. Drawing is a symmetrical composition with architectural and floral intertwining, stylized in a blue, ocher and brown palette, which recalls oriental influences and art déco. The outer edge has a diagonal cross drawing, also in blue tones, framed by a simple brown line that completes the carpet. The "Kyoto" design reflects the elegance and refinement typical of the Balmain style, combining Asian references with a modern European graphic sensitivity. With label on the back Pierre Balmain (1914-1982) founded his now iconic label in 1945. Next to the Titans of the high fashion Christian Dior and Hubert de Givenchy. Son of a seamstress and a tent seller, Balmain's founder was born in 1914 in the south-east of France and has been interested in fashion since he was a child. His mother wanted his son to become an architect, but the principles of design and structure that Pierre learned during his short studies at the École des Beaux Arts served him throughout his career
