Launching exclusive art carpet by German Artist Jorinde Voigt
VELVENOIR is pleased to launch this exclusive collaboration with artist Jorinde Voigt and Alarwool, introducing her first fine-art carpet edition, crafted from exquisite Spanish wool.
Inspired by the natural beauty of Mallorca, the carpet captures the essence of the island’s ocean and sky. Voigt reflects on “the glittering waves during the day, and the beautiful light that spreads across the body.” By midnight, the warmth stored in the earth lingers, while the glitter of the sea remains a vivid memory.
This piece transforms those summer sensations into art, with every line capturing the joy of the season. Voigt’s design evokes the feeling of happiness, inviting a sense of tranquility and warmth. Made from Spanish wool, this fine-art carpet brings the essence of Mallorca’s light and sea into any space. The result is not just a visual experience but a tactile one, offering a space for reflection, peace, and connection to the Mediterranean.

Portrait Jorinde Voigt: Daniel Verhülsdonk
Jorinde Voigt (Germany, 1977) is a multidisciplinary visual artist based in Berlin. From 2014 to 2019, she taught at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich, and today she is Professor of Conceptual Drawing and Painting at the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg. In her work Jorinde Voigt observes and explores the inner processes of perception in relation to various aspects and subjects such as affects and emotions, imagination, memory, sensory experience, natural and cultural phenomena, scientific data, interpersonal actions, and relationships. Since her early work, Jorinde Voigt has taken an analytical approach, understanding her subjects as dynamic situations whose state of being is in constant change. Within a conceptual approach Jorinde Voigt has been expanding her work beyond the medium of drawing in recent years, including and experimenting with painterly elements, collage, sculpture, design, and music.
