A collection of rugs inspired by a poem about the Netherlands was the subject of a soothing exhibition in Milan’s Zona Tortona last week. Rugs by Celia Suzanne Sluijter for ICE by Femke Goossens were representations of the low country’s landscape, weather and seas. The land was there, as were the leaves in the trees, the waves of the sea and the crystals of ice that form in the winter. The colours were soft and the scenes brought to life the words of Dutch poet Hendrik Marsman.
