A circle on the floor changes a room. With no corners to align, no edges to run parallel to the wall, the circular form of Platô resolutely occupies space on its own terms, creating a zone of gathering rather than a boundary. Platô, plateau in Portuguese is a woolen rug with two concentric fields which are tufted at different pile heights: the outer ring is close-cut and restrained and feels firm underfoot, while the inner circle is cut taller so that it looks fuller and feels softer. The edge between them is not a ruled line but an organic contour, and it is here that the rug lives. That shift in height gives Platô a distinct topography, tracing a bold boundary that gives the effect of depth: a rug that appears to have dimension rather than merely surface.
At 240cm across, Platô has the confidence of a large object. Place it where people gather and it will hold them confidently. Platô's circular form is also a natural anchor for a round dining table or a lounge arrangement: with a round dining table, the rug and the furniture shares the same circular geometry, with one defining the other; when paired with lounge seating, the rug draws the eye, cleverly identifying the area as intentionally zoned.
