Oxidation Painting (01), 2021, Design by Calle Henzel
Edition of 10
Numbered
Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity
Hand knotted rug
Wool & Silk
High / Low Cut

Henzel Studio is honored to further its collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation of Visual Arts on a second collection of handmade art rugs based on one of Warhol’s most controversial yet abstract series of works, his 'Oxidation Paintings' from 1978. After two years of painstaking development and production, the result is a remarkably seamless adaptation, where similar oxidation outcomes and comparable textures have been achieved. When making his Oxidation paintings, Warhol laid his canvases down on the floor, coated them with copper paint, and then directed his assistants or visitors to his studio to urinate on them while the paint was still wet. The acid from the urine oxidized the metal in the copper paint, creating an abstract shimmering effect. Insisting on the importance of artistic skill when creating the paintings, Warhol explained: “If I asked someone to do an Oxidation painting, and they just wouldn’t think about it, it would just be a mess. Then I did it myself – and it’s just too much work – and you try to figure out a good design.”

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.
