LAYERED introduces a new design collaboration with artist Heather Chontos. A collection where her abstract design language takes new form through LAYERED's expertise in textile craftsmanship, and three original works are reinterpreted into hand-knotted rugs.

Heather Chontos is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist, known for her abstract works featuring bold color palettes and organic forms. Her artistic expression moves fluidly between painting, sculpture, and design, reflecting her background in set design and illustration. From her horse farm in rural Portugal, Chontos draws inspiration from the surrounding landscape and the ever-changing light, infusing each piece with a strong sense of presence and energy.

Blue Lake is inspired by a mirror-still lake in northern France — a place Heather Chontos passed daily during a time of personal transition. First created as a painting on linen, the artwork captures the muted light, deep blue hues, and quiet presence of the landscape. Translated into a rug, it retains that same sense of calm, with gentle tonal shifts and a soft, tactile surface. A visually harmonious piece — as much an artwork as it is a grounding element for an elegant, tranquil space.

The collection brings Heather Chontos' vibrant and dynamic visual language into the world of textiles. Each rug is hand-knotted to create the complex texture that captures the essence of her paintings. Through advanced dyeing techniques and carefully executed craftsmanship, the depth and color variations of her artwork are recreated, giving each rug an artistic expression and bringing a sense of vibrancy to any space.
