Movement in Blue – Tim Van Steenbergen

A dynamic abstract wool & silk rug inspired by movement, light and emotion

Movement in Blue is a powerful expression of dynamic energy translated into textile form. Designed by renowned Belgian fashion designer Tim Van Steenbergen, this hand-knotted wool and silk rug captures the invisible force of movement — not the obvious gesture, but the tension beneath the surface.

Layers of azure blue, coral green and aubergine purple unfold across a deep indigo field, creating a harmonious yet vibrant colour composition. The subtle contrasts between matte Gazne wool and luminous natural silk generate depth, light reflection and constant visual change throughout the day.

Inspired by Kasimir Malevich’s concept of “dynamic movement” — movement that cannot be seen but deeply felt — this rug transforms space through atmosphere rather than pattern. It radiates positivity, energy and emotional warmth while maintaining refined elegance.

Craftsmanship & Materials

  • Hand-knotted in premium Himalayan wool and natural silk

  • Luxurious soft hand-feel with subtle sheen

  • Layered colour blending and refined tonal transitions

  • Exceptional durability combined with artistic sophistication

The interplay between texture and light creates a living surface that shifts with its environment. Movement in Blue is not merely decorative — it is an artwork for the floor.

His multidisciplinary approach translates seamlessly into this rug design — where couture sensibility meets artisanal weaving tradition.

Care guide

Wool

Wool is one of the most durable and versatile materials for rugs. It is naturally stain-resistant, resilient, and warm, making it a popular choice for high-traffic areas.

Care Tips:

  1. Regular Vacuuming: Use a suction-only vacuum to remove surface dirt. Avoid using the beater bar to prevent pulling fibers.
  2. Spot Cleaning: Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Use a mixture of mild detergent and water for stubborn stains, but test in a small, inconspicuous area first.
  3. Deep Cleaning: Professional cleaning every 3-5 years will keep the rug vibrant and fresh.
  4. Rotation: Rotate the rug every 6-12 months to ensure even wear.

General Recommendations

  • Rug Pads: Use rug pads to prevent slipping and reduce wear.
  • Sun Protection: Minimize direct sunlight exposure by using curtains or UV-blocking window films.
  • Storage: If storing rugs, roll them with acid-free paper and keep them in a cool, dry place.

Silk

Silk rugs are luxurious, soft, and exhibit a beautiful sheen, often making them statement pieces in a room. However, they are more delicate than wool.

Care Tips:

  1. Gentle Cleaning: Avoid vacuuming with a high-powered vacuum. Use a handheld vacuum with a brushless attachment.
  2. Spot Cleaning: Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as it can damage the fibers.
  3. Professional Cleaning: Always use professional cleaners specializing in silk rugs. Silk requires careful handling and should never be steam-cleaned.
  4. Low-Traffic Areas: Place silk rugs in low-medium traffic or decorative areas to preserve their beauty.

General Recommendations

  • Rug Pads: Use rug pads to prevent slipping and reduce wear.
  • Sun Protection: Minimize direct sunlight exposure by using curtains or UV-blocking window films.
  • Storage: If storing rugs, roll them with acid-free paper and keep them in a cool, dry place.
