Dune

The design object DUNE unconventionally redefines the function of a traditional rug, blending cultural heritage with modern adaptability. Drawing inspiration from the significance of rugs in nomadic desert cultures, DUNE merges the tradition of floor seating with European-style comfort. Designed by BUDDE and gun-tufted by Nando Studio in Cologne, Germany, the rug evolves into a sculptural chaise lounge, supported by a bent aluminium structure. The aluminum structure can be flexibly removed and attached underneath the left or right side of the rug in order to integrate seamlessly into different environments. The rug pattern mimics the flowing dunes of a desert landscape, with a warm, shifting color palette that reflects the subtle changes in sunlight along the sand dunes. The piece is a unique testament to the art of tufting, combining the traditional crafting technique with contemporary interior aesthetics and requirements for comfort. As a functional artwork, it invites users to explore rug seating on the soft surface with the option to lay down on the comfortable lounge daybed. With its unconventional form and versatility, it becomes both a centerpiece and a conversation starter.
