Italian furniture company Driade<\/a> in collaboration with German designer Linde Burkhardt presented the ‘Driade Rugs’ collection at the Salone del Mobile 2012<\/a> recently. The collection of these colorful tufted woolen carpets are a result of Burkhardt’s fascination with the Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa<\/a> and his alter egos:\u00a0 \u00c5lvaro de Campos, Alberto Caeiro, Ricard Reis, & Pessoa. <\/strong>“Fernando, \u00c5lvaro, Alberto, & Ricardo, as eveybody knows, though still hard to believe are a single person: four different styles of writing\u00a0for four different heteronyms of Pessoa.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
