The Bouclé Collection, is a set of sculptural wall hangers that redefine the boundaries between art and function. Consisting of four distinct sizes, each piece is crafted from walnut wood and punctuated by painted circular elements.

Drawing inspiration from the richly textured surface of bouclé fabric, known for its tactile knots and color variations. Anonen translated these qualities into a system of painted "knots" or circles that act as hanging points. Arranged with harmonious symmetry, these elements evoke a polka dot pattern, blending graphic clarity with playful rhythm. The result is a wall-mounted piece that’s both modular and expressive and invites people to interact with their spaces in a new way. Whether in an entryway, hallway, or public setting, it feels like part utility, part artwork.

Scalable in both size and layout, the Bouclé Collection adapts seamlessly to compact apartments or expansive hospitality environments. Its modular structure allows users to customize the arrangement to fit the dimensions and mood of a room, making it a versatile solution for designers and homeowners alike.
