For Moooi collection, I’m taking my inspiration from the shapes of deep sea corals.
Fascinating underwater patterns create vivid, camouflage-like surfaces.
Synthetic polyamide rugs are ideal for heavy traffic contract spaces, while wool is more suitable for residential.
For a crisper and more vivid print, polyamide is advised, while a softer and more authentic effect is created with wool.

He lives and works in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Ideas of nature seen from the abstracted edge of perception pervade all of Saksi’s work.

Combining organic qualities with uniquely detailed textures with rich colour palettes and experimental material use, Saksi is interested in developing contemporary spaces, objects and atmospheres. Saksi’s artworks have been exhibited at galleries and museums in New York, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Helsinki, Singapore, Berlin, Madrid, Milan and Tokyo.
