The difference a rug can make in a room is pretty remarkable: softening hardwood, bringing in a bit of a pattern or color, truly tying things together underfoot. San Francisco-based designer Melina Raissnia uses an ancient Iranian felting technique to create her collection, and her website—and Hayes Valley shop, if you're in the Bay Area—displays a great range of rugs. We're quite fond of Fuller and its nod to Bucky's geodesics.
We've got floor coverings on the brain this week, and consistently find ourselves clicking back to admire the work of Melina Raissnia, who owns San Francisco-based Peace Industry with her husband Todd. Their Hayes Valley shop has a beautiful selection of 100% lambswool rugs, handmade using ancient Iranian felting techniques.
This hand-felted, hand-sewn rug from Odegard is made from 100% recycled strips of wool, with a style inspired by traditional artisan craftwork. As it's able to be bought by the square foot, you can accent a spot in the living room or fill your floor with a larger piece. To order, call 800.670.8836 or email info (at) odegardinc (dot) com.
The circular shaped pieces on this wool rug create a unique and densely packed surface. The texture becomes even more striking when light hits, adding to the sophisticated appeal. It comes in 3 colors and available in 5 sizes.
