YRM
A collaboration translating the Yoomoota universe into textile: a rug handcrafted by rural artisans in Jaipur from wool and viscose, revealing a surreal landscape of 23 interconnected planets through biomorphic and fantastical motifs — a tactile map awaiting its pioneer.
YRM is a singular (one-of-a-kind) hand-crafted rug created by Taras Yoom with Jaipur Rugs and debuted at PAD Paris 2026 (April 8-12, Jardin des Tuileries, 28th edition of the fair). Made of wool and viscose — two fibers that catch light differently, giving the surface a shifting luminosity — it was hand-made by artisans in Jaipur using centuries-old techniques, each thread individually dyed and placed. The composition reads as a map of an imagined cosmos: biomorphic forms and celestial symbols extending the Yoomoota universe onto a floor piece viewers can literally step into. Jaipur Rugs, founded in 1978 by Nand Kishore Chaudhary, is one of India's largest handmade-rug houses, working with a network of some 40,000 artisans across ~600 villages.
The collaboration bridges the mythical and the artisanal: Yoom translated his painted cosmos into a knot-by-knot medium, entrusting the execution to Jaipur Rugs' village artisans — a meeting of a fictional universe with one of the world's largest living craft networks.
