Like typography savants, textile cognoscenti occupy a healthy chunk of the modernist population—as they should, since woven accessories are essential for warming up a stark, streamlined interior. These five selections, from dhurrie to hand-knotted, make a case for vibrant colors and patterns underfoot.
Add a bit off floor-bound color with this 100% hand-tufted cotton rug from Gan, Gandia Blasco's home textile line. If turquoise isn't your shade, Caramelos comes in orange, red, and black variations as well, and is available in the US from Unica Home.
