Noticed of late—colorful rugs that look like they belong in an exhibit of abstract art. Here are a few we spotted and approve of:
Above: Cold Picnic hit it big with the now-ubiquitous “Boobs” bath mat a few year ago, and since then they’ve expanded to eye-catching abstract rugs that feature refreshingly retro palettes. Their hand-tufted wool Salt Flats Rug starts at $135 for the 2×3. Above: Minna, based in Hudson, New York, partners with artisans to create ethically made goods for the home. Their wool shag Moon Rug was handwoven by artisans in a Guatemalan co-op; from $255 for the 2×3. Above: Karu’s “Still Life with Cup” Mohair Rug starts at $880 for the 3×5. From the website: “A collaboration with South African rug producer Frances Van Hasselt, each piece is made within a local and ethical South African supply chain that begins at the Van Hasselt family farm in Prince Albert where the Angora goats are shorn for the raw mohair fibre, which is then hand spun and woven by skilled artisans in the Eastern Cape.” Above: Beni Rugs’s Rothko Rug is an homage to the artist’s “Blue and Grey” painting. The wool rug starts at $745 for the 4×6. Above: Studio Proba’s Day 1083 Rug is part of its Poster a Day Rug line, which is designed in Brooklyn and hand-made in India; from $765 for the 3×5. Above: West Elm’s Abstract Shapes Rug is based on a watercolor painting by Sade Studio. Hand-made in Guatemala, the wool and cotton 5×7 rug is currently on sale for $349.99. Above: Tantuvi’s made-to-order, hand-woven cotton Kulfi Rose Dhurrie is made by artisans in Rajasthan, India; from $216 for the 2×3. Above: Marrakesh-based Lrnce’s Asma Beni Ouarain Rug is hand-made by four Moroccan women; 1250€ for a 5×8.
