Inspired by Le Poème de l’Angle Droit, the art book published in only 250 exemplars that contains the vision of Le Corbusier on architecture, Tapis La Main Ouverte portrays a lithograph in seven colours produced by the historic Paris printer, Studio Mourlot. The collage depicts an open hand, symbol of the Indian city of Chandigarh, designed by Le Corbusier himself in the 1950s, and a key image in the maestro’s philosophy, symbolic of what is offered and received, utilised by the great architect as a metaphor for generosity and sharing in a universally meaningful gesture.

This type of work requires hand-craftsmanship skills that complete the underlying narrative behind the meaning of human touch encapsulated in the iconic figure.
