Boehm's new collection, "Les Mosaïques de Velours," challenges the notion of what a luxury rug can be. Using hand-knotted nettle fibers, an unexpected yet brilliantly durable material, the collection marries eco-conscious craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics.

 

Among Eric Boehm's standout creations, the Maringy rug, designed by Grégoire de Lafforest for Mercœur, takes center stage. A masterclass in elegance and precision, this rug embodies the seamless fusion of contemporary artistry and time-honored craftsmanship. Beyond its striking design, Maringy is a testament to Boehm's unwavering commitment to sustainability, proving that luxury and eco-conscious innovation can, and should, go hand in hand.
