The Atelier Editions, part of Atelier Bowy C.D., a curatorial and experimental space within Henzel Studio, brings together top architects, designers, and contemporary voices to create limited editions. These rugs are presented as sculptural objects that explore material, gesture, and surface, blurring boundaries between art, design, and architecture.
At its core, The Atelier Editions is an artistic initiative — a space for experimentation, dialogue, and exchange. Each invited contribution is chosen not for its alignment with trends or market demands, but for its creative resonance: a personal, experimental, or poetic exploration of the textile medium. The aim is to cultivate a collection of works that challenge perception, spark conversation, and expand the handmade rug’s place within the fields of contemporary art, design, and architecture.
Conceived as a living, evolving platform, The Atelier Editions brings together AD100 architects, influential cultural and contemporary voices, internationally recognized designers, and emerging talents whose work pushes the boundaries of form, material, and concept.
This ongoing expansion is intentional, fostering a dialogue that is both rigorous and open-ended. Each rug is envisioned as more than a functional object — it becomes a tactile field, a sculptural presence, and a site where ideas are woven directly into the work. Through unconventional compositions, intricate detailing, and unexpected material choices, these pieces affirm a shared belief: that the rug is not merely a surface, but a ground for cultural and artistic meaning.
The Atelier Editions exists to support these explorations — offering contributors the freedom, resources, and context to realize their vision without compromise. In doing so, it positions the handmade rug as a legitimate medium of artistic expression, in constant dialogue with the worlds of art, design, and architecture.
