The oriental idea of a carpet is of a cosy, clean space in which a small group of people can get together in a homely, intimate way. The design on oriental carpets which is often geometrical refers to an ideal place, a garden, a building,  beauty enclosed in a defined space. Charles Fourier with the architecture of Falansterio and the diagram “le groupe critiqe” drawn by Yona Friedman in her text Utopies réalisables are the places designed upon this carpet.
