A limited artist edition translating Louis Venturelli's museum-inspired color fields into handmade rugs for the floor, the wall, and the rooms that gather around them.
MAJLIS Editions x Louis Venturelli
MAJLIS has followed Louis Venturelli's work for four years. His paintings hold the memory of museums, travel, color, and architectural proportion; our collaboration brings that language into a textural experience, expanding paint into fibre without treating the rug as a reproduction.
The collection
Each work is made to order as an edition of 50. All rugs can be made in sizes 8' x 10' and larger, in New Zealand wool or high-performance ECONYL®, and can be presented on the floor or on the wall.
A tonal ochre composition becomes a dense, atmospheric surface. The lower field remains quiet and exact, giving the rug a measured architectural weight.
The color is standardized to preserve the painting's close values while allowing the pile to bring light and shadow into the surface.
Bright green holds a deeper field, with a dark lower rectangle anchoring the composition. As a rug, the painting becomes a study in threshold, depth, and density.
The design can sit on the floor as a field of color or be mounted vertically as a textile object.
A saturated yellow rectangle sits within blue fields, carrying the directness of the painting into a larger material scale.
The strong chromatic relationship is held as the central subject; the rug does not add motif, border decoration, or new marks.
Rose and mauve tones stay deliberately close. The piece depends on restraint: a field, a border, and a lower plane that changes with light.
In fibre, the quiet shifts become tactile rather than graphic.
Rust, burnt orange, and a deeper lower plane create a warmer register within the group. The rug keeps the painted hierarchy intact.
The result is color as architecture: a surface that changes the room without becoming decorative pattern.
A deep green field is interrupted by a metallic horizontal register. In ECONYL®, the metallic material option gives the band a reflective fibre quality while the dark fields remain grounded.
The composition is intentionally spare; the material shift carries the change.

Fibre, scale, placement
The collection is produced through MAJLIS's handmade process in India. Each design is limited, made to order, and reviewed through material samples so the color relationships remain close to Louis's paintings while gaining the weight and tactility of fibre.
MAJLIS Editions x Louis Venturelli is built around admiration, authorship, and material translation: a way to amplify the work without turning it into ornament.
