French designers Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec will present a collection of rugs for Spanish brand Nanimarquina at Maison & Objet in Paris this month.

Called Losanges, the rugs are hand-made in Northern Pakistan, combining thirteen colours in a pattern of tessellated diamond shapes.

Maison & Objet takes place 21-25 January 2011.

Here’s some text from Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec:

We are pleased to present a new rug collection, called Losanges, designed for the Spanish brand nanimarquina.

We have always been captivated by the traditional Persian rug, especially by the very old kilim savoir-faire which we see as a delicate mix of rusticity and fineness.

We have been lucky to see this project carried through by the craftsmen of Northern Pakistan who managed to skillfully combine thirteen colors through the geometrical rhombus shape.

As well as being crafted by hand, the Afghan wool is also spun by hand, which allows for some unique color tones to be highlighted.

This subtly random technique makes each lozenge slightly different and each rug, a unique piece.

The Losanges collection will be presented at the nanimarquina booth Hall 8 F36 during the Maison et Objet trade show (January 21-25, 2011).

While much of the most recent national talk about St. Louis has been about revitalization, there’s a history in that city, and many like it, about architectural and urban planning projects run afoul. Such is the subject of what looks to be a fascinating documentary, The Pruitt-Igoe Myth: an Urban History. The film, directed by Chad Freidrichs, tells the story of America’s urban renewal projects in the 1950s and 60s, St. Louis’ famous Pruitt-Igoe framing the discussion. Built in the mid-50s and designed by Minoru Yamasaki (who also designed the World Trade Center towers), the housing project was seen as the savior of the inner city working class. Yet some decade and a half after it was built, living conditions at deteriorated and the city had it demolished. On a base level, the project was labeled as a failure of colossal proportions. The film, however, looks to want to dig into the stories of how it came to be, what went both right and wrong, and in general “set the historical record straight.” Here’s some thoughts Archinect has on the film and Pruitt-Igoe itself and here’s the trailer:
