Nani Marquina is normally associated with arresting colors and whimsical designs, but with her Asia Rug (2006) she focused entirely on creating an incredibly plush and texturally rich floor covering. The hand-knotted design showcases the artistry of creating a bi-level pattern through a completely manual system. The wool is securely attached to the base with a knot, and it is through the form and type of knot that the different levels are created. The knot count of the Asia Rug is a very dense 6,300 knots/…read more

When Christopher Farr painted Italys Lake Como in the 1970s, he never imagined that the watercolor would later inspire a rug. However, it’s really no surprise, considering Farr approaches the floor as the fifth wall. His Como Rug (2006), available only at DWR, is similar to the other pieces in his rug collection in how it has the power of an abstract canvas for the floor. Its fields of harmonious color can enlarge the feeling of a room or bring balance and focus to the elements of a space. Suitable for re…read more

I love soft, round shapes, says Angela Adams when speaking of her Stone Rug (2005). Theyre very comforting, and these remind me of beach rocks, but the design can also look like a great stack of wood, or patterns in ice and snow. These organic shapes are highlighted by Adams use of rich color and thick pile, which add depth and texture to the Rug. Hand tufted out of 100% New Zealand wool, the Stone Rugs 0.5″ pile is soft and inviting. The edging is resolved without having to use a band, a…read more
