Stripes Round

As if thrown into the air in a game, a delicately flowing black and white striped silk chiffon scarf unfolds the idea from which Trix and Robert Haussmann created their iconic STRIPE drape design – a motif that has been a recurring theme in their multifaceted work since the early 1980s.

The comprehensive and multifaceted archive of Trix and Robert Haussmann – rich in previously unpublished sketches and designs – forms the basis of Ruckstuhl's COLLECTION TRIX & ROBERT HAUSSMANN. The collection was developed at the beginning of this year in close collaboration with Trix Haussmann to showcase the aesthetic principles and design intentions of the visionary duo in all their depth and originality.

Ruckstuhl combines this piece of Swiss design history with future-oriented material innovation: the TRIX & ROBERT HAUSSMANN COLLECTION is the world's first carpet collection whose top layer is made from 60% recycled wool – obtained from discarded clothing (post-consumer material, such as high-quality winter coats). STRIPES SQUARE PRIVÉ is the soft wool quality for private living areas, STRIPE SQUARE LOUNGE is the dense wool quality for public areas.
