The Procession of the Precise: A Visigothic March Runner

A floor is not a floor. It is a surface awaiting decorative, historical intention. This floor runner is a dramatic, linear manifesto that elevates every step into a processional walk through the early Middle Ages. The design is a bold, high-density tribute to the Visigothic and early Christian art of the Iberian Peninsula, characterized by intricate, colourful complexity. The runner features a dominant central band filled with tightly packed, repeating geometric rosettes and cruciform motifs, rendered in intense primary colours—sapphire blue, fiery red, and ochre-yellow. This central riot of geometry is contained by dramatic yellow borders that feature contrasting, simpler repeating patterns, such as abstract ovals and circles. This structure, with its contained, endless repetition of complex forms, reflects the sophisticated, non-figurative artistry prevalent during a period of transition (5th to 10th centuries). It suggests an ordered, continuous narrative, perfectly suited for guiding traffic through a modern, otherwise formless space. Fact of the Absurd: In churches and palaces of this era, similar geometric borders and fields were used to define sacred or royal paths. By laying this runner down, you are declaring that your hallway, kitchen, or living room possesses the structural and spiritual importance of an ancient royal basilica. Walk with appropriate, absurd dignity. Durable, easily maintained, and visually commanding. It is an essential item for the person who demands their furniture (and flooring) participate in a loud, colourful, and perfectly organized historical dialogue.
