Imperfect Beauty exhibition - 2020

LARUSI - Imperfect Beauty


An exhibition of Souad Larusi’s personal collection of vintage and contemporary textiles This beautifully curated selection is underpinned by a monochrome palette, allowing the workmanship in each handcrafted piece to shine. 'For me, the attraction lies in the tactility, the techniques used to make them', explains Souad, who has an innate understanding of how to apply these traditional textiles in contemporary interiors. A celebration of tradition, Souad’s fascinating collection showcases skills passed between generations, which are gradually dying out. From hand-spun woollen wraps worn by women in the north of Morocco, to hand-stitched Turkish quilts and an incredibly rare ‘postak’ skin rug from Kyrgyzstan, all of the pieces are shown in their original form and are united by the beauty of their imperfections. 'I’m always fascinated by the haptic qualities of the textiles, but also the visual structure; how the material is achieved,' she explains.  ‘I love how the design of these pieces have been made in a very free, expressive way. They are a real reflection of their makers.’
