Huit: A Reflection of Tranquility
"Huit is a creation that captures the serene essence of nature, transformed into a tactile and visual experience. Inspired by the art of sculpting sand into mesmerizing patterns, the rug evokes a sense of calm and contemplation, inviting one to experience the quiet beauty of simplicity. The palette of cream and taupe is carefully chosen to mimic the soft, timeless tones of sand, emphasizing a connection to the earth. The design is a dance of lines—gentle waves, straight paths, and concentric circles—that come together to create a sense of harmony and balance. Each pattern is meticulously crafted, offering a visual and sensory journey. In "Huit," space and texture are as much a part of the design as the patterns themselves. The absence of embellishments allows the intricate design to take center stage, celebrating the beauty found in emptiness and the elegance of restraint. This rug offers a moment of stillness in the midst of a busy world, allowing you to reconnect with the natural rhythms of life.”

Terence Neo, the creative force behind EightyTwo, draws his design philosophy from a rich tapestry of cultures and art forms. He often weaves together the six senses—sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell, and an overarching sense of well-being—to craft nurturing and inspiring spaces. His collaboration piece, the “Huit,” is inspired by the monogram of EightyTwo’s logo, which echoes the infinity symbol. The rug embodies endless design possibilities while celebrating the elegance of simplicity and the beauty of restraint. Neo aspires to make a subtle yet profound statement on luxury, reflecting the art of living with grace and sophistication.
