The Design Process Behind Angela Adams? Arenal Rug
We go behind the scenes with angela adams to see the process of how the Arenal rug came together.
In this month’s Deconstruction, Design Milk goes behind the scenes with angela adams, a Portland, Maine based company run by designers Angela Adams and Sherwood Hamill. The wife-and-husband duo design contemporary rugs and furniture that are crafted by hand using the traditional techniques of skilled makers, like the Astral Gardens rug collection and the Moby Coffee Table. Now, Angela Adams herself is virtually taking us through her design process of the Arenal rug, a design from the Inner Nature collection that launched at the end of 2017.Â
The natural world provides endless inspiration for life and design. I?ve always loved to translate those inspirations into patterns, paintings and sculptural projects using the influences I gather from travels near and far. The inspirations can be subtle and sensorial, or bold and powerful. I have an obsession with volcanoes and the minerals and crystals that form deep in caves and down in the Earth?s core, and I drew on that as I began conceptualizing the design for the Arenal.
One of my favorite destinations is Costa Rica. The coast is rich with beautiful ocean swells, playful monkeys, vibrant birds and lush colors. Up in the Northwestern mountains of Costa Rica, the beautiful conically shaped Arenal volcano looms over the landscape, appearing and disappearing from view as the light and clouds transform from dawn to dusk...
