THE SAVOY IS A STAIN THAT HAS SPILLED -- AND REMAINS. Half a heavy black surface, dripping lines into cool cream, like elegantly collapsed graffiti. This is a tapestry that is an aesthetic protest -- and a call to recess. The carpet is woven by hand using a technique that creates depth layers and traces of movement. The black drops create a rhythmus, like a ritual of defiant rhythm. Gadi Carmel's design was born out of an unplanned moment — and has become a precise formative memory.
