Designer Rugs

The loom is old; the room is not. Designer rugs bridge old weaving and modern rooms: Tibetan and Nepalese pile rugs from workshops such as Tufenkian, modernist Moroccan pile carpets, pictorial and Art Deco Chinese rugs, and Turkish Tulu in graphic blocks of color. Hand-spun wool, silk and natural dyes meet the restraint of contemporary design. Under a dining table, in a bedroom or across a wide living room, they lay a clean, quiet foundation for old and new furniture together. Floors have opinions too, and these hold theirs quietly. They suit a house of old things as easily as a new apartment with one good chair.
