The Burnt Carpet United rug features a fire-seared typographic design by designer Loredana Longo, part of her conceptual 'Burnt Carpet' series for Seletti. The surface carries a quote from Patrick Henry — 'United we stand divided we fall' — burned directly into the material, creating a permanent, tactile impression within the weave. Its multicolored palette adds visual depth while the scorched lettering provides a contrasting textural element against the traditional rug construction.
Deemed a sacred space for Eastern populations and symbol of luxury and prestige in the West, the carpet is a combined point of creativity and conceptual depth. Designer Loredana Longo explores this idea further in the 'Burnt Carpet' series for Seletti, where phrases from world leaders of the past and present are seared into the surface using fire. On the multicolored 'Burnt Carpet, United', a quote from Patrick Henry — 'United we stand divided we fall' — is emblazoned across the surface for a lasting impact and moment of reflection.
