Kelim Untitled_​AB15, designed by Alain Biltereyst for Kvadrat, trans­lates the essence of urban signage into a strik­ing geomet­ric compo­si­tion. With a balance of struc­tured repe­ti­tion and subtle irreg­u­lar­ity, the rug captures the rhyth­mic move­ment of cityscapes, forming an abstract alpha­bet of shapes that engage the eye. As viewers explore the inter­play of lines and volumes, the design reveals a dynamic harmony between symme­try and vari­a­tion. Avail­able in two inverted color­ways, Shadow and Sand, Untitled_​AB15 offers both versa­til­ity and sophis­ti­ca­tion, making it a compelling addi­tion to modern interiors.

Alain Biltereyst

Belgium

Alain Biltereyst’s abstract artworks reflect his fascination with the visual language of urban landscapes. Drawing inspiration from commercial signage, typography, and advertising graphics, his works focus on pure visual and material experiences, free from narrative constraints.

Based in Brussels, Biltereyst translates everyday designs—manhole covers, fence patterns, airplane logos—into carefully composed, small-scale paintings on thick panels. His work emphasizes layering, repetition, and recurring motifs, distilling functional design elements into striking compositions.

By isolating and reimagining these familiar visual cues, Biltereyst’s pieces blur the line between fine art and fragments of design history. His paintings, often presented as series, create a dialogue between historical abstraction and the aesthetics of daily life, offering a refined tribute to the overlooked beauty of commercial and industrial design.
