Description

CALLE HENZEL, Bellac (Drawing / Le Dessin #12), 2016 / 2024
Dessins de Croquis (2016 - 2024)
Edition of 99 + 1 AP

Hand knotted rug
Wool & Silk

Dessins de Croquis (2016–2024) by Calle Henzel translates a series of drawings and painterly studies into woven form, exploring the relationship between mark, surface, and structure. The collection takes its starting point in Henzel’s sketchbooks and studio studies, where gestural compositions and layered textures develop through an intuitive process of drawing, erasing, and reworking.

Across the series, the compositions retain the immediacy of the original sketches. Soft tonal gradients, blurred transitions, and areas of density and dissolution evoke charcoal, ink, and pigment applied directly onto paper or canvas. Rather than reproducing the drawings literally, the designs reinterpret these gestures through the language of textile — allowing woven structure, fiber, and scale to reshape the character of the original marks.

A defining element of the collection is the visible grid that underlies several compositions. This structural layer recalls the framework of drawing paper, architectural drafting, or the warp and weft of the loom itself. Within this ordered matrix, painterly forms appear to dissolve, expand, or gather into darker concentrations, creating a tension between precision and spontaneity.

Material nuance plays an essential role in the reading of the works. Subtle tonal shifts and layered textures allow the surfaces to change character depending on distance and light. From afar the compositions appear restrained and atmospheric; at closer range the woven structure and intricate detailing become more pronounced.

Developed over nearly a decade, Dessins de Croquis reflects Henzel’s ongoing exploration of how drawing can move beyond the page and into spatial form. By translating studio sketches into textile compositions, the collection situates the rug within a broader dialogue between drawing, architecture, and contemporary art — where surface, gesture, and material converge.

Redefining rug making since 1999

Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner

Henzel Studio is honored to collaborate with the Pollock-Krasner Foundation on an original collection of hand-knotted textile works inspired by the artistic legacies of Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner. Both artists transformed the language of abstraction through distinct approaches to gesture, material, structure and reinvention. The collaboration explores how their visual languages can be interpreted through texture, pile, carving and construction, extending their artistic legacies into the field of collectible design. The inaugural collection will be introduced in Spring 2027. Email info@henzelstudio.com or send us a DM to join the priority reservation list and receive first access to the limited-edition works before the public release.

Henzel x Warhol

Henzel Studio Heritage: Andy Warhol is a limited-edition collection of art rugs created in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, marking ten years of partnership. Each rug translates Warhol’s iconic imagery —whether vibrant or in black and white —into tactile, hand-knotted works of art. This decade-long collaboration merges Warhol’s experimental spirit with Henzel Studio’s dedication to craftsmanship, material integrity, and lasting design. The collection offers collectors and art lovers a unique way to experience Warhol’s visual language, bridging contemporary art and functional, collectible rugs.

Marking Over a Decade of Exhibitions in Milan

This collection features hand-knotted rugs by Calle Henzel alongside works from the Henzel Studio Collaborations program, previously shown at MiArt and Salone del Mobile. Combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary vision, the rugs transform space as dynamic art objects. In addition to Henzel’s designs, the collection includes collaborations with artists such as Helmut Lang, Mickalene Thomas, John Waters, and Anselm Reyle, preserving each artist’s essence while exploring the possibilities of hand-knotting.

Henzel Studio x Carsten Höller

Carsten Höller creates mushroom-inspired works to explore altered states of perception, the dualities of nature—both harmless and toxic—and the intersection of science and art. Drawing on his scientific training, Höller has long been fascinated by fungi, particularly the psychedelic Amanita muscaria, which he transforms into sculptural “confusion machines” that challenge perception and spark curiosity. For Henzel Studio, Höller has translated this ethos into the Mushroom Rug, a limited-edition hand-knotted piece that brings the whimsical and transformative qualities of his sculptural mushrooms into a tactile, functional form. The rug invites viewers to engage with space, texture, and color in a way that blurs the boundaries between art, design, and experience.

Palazzo — Punk, Patina & Pressure

In Palazzo, Henzel approaches the historical rug as material under pressure, not an object of preservation. Classical patterns are cut, sanded, washed, stained, and weathered—pushing the rug from decoration into a sculptural field shaped by force and time.
