Mars is the collection designed by Doriana and Massimiliano Fuksas for Nodus.
The Mars carpet is an artistic exploration born from the fusion of human uncertainty in front of the unknown and our tendency to create symbols
to understand it. Inspired by the perception of the red planet Mars, this design evokes a pictographic language that connects our past to a
possible future in other worlds.
The predominant colour, a deep red, represents the Martian essence, a mysterious and inhospitable environment that we have humanised through
stories, science and mythology. Just as our ancestors carved the first pictograms on rock to explain their reality, Mars imagines how
we might express our impressions and discoveries in an extraplanetary context.
Designed by Studio Fuksas, the carpet proposes a reflection: if Mars became our canvas, how would our cultural expression look
in front of the unexplored? The organic features, recalling natural and abstract forms, suggest an evolution in our visual language, combining
the ancient andthe futuristic.
