Woven Névé Rug
“We’re always experimenting, which is unusual in a field that can be quite cerebral about rugs,” says Christina Tullock. “We’re very in the moment.” To create the Névé Rug (2016), Tullock put a modern textural twist on a traditional Moroccan rug to create a luxurious piece that’s just right for today’s environment. “I’m a huge Donald Judd fan,” she adds – clearly evident in the minimal design of this rug, with bold stripes set on a solid background.

Nanimarquina Losanges Rug
A floor covering that's remarkably rhomboid. The Nanimarquina Losanges Rug is a visually (and technically) complex piece designed by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec. Within the generally rhomboid borders are numerous diamond-shaped sections--in a seemingly random mix of sizes and colors. It is hand woven in the classic flat Kilim style using 100% Afghan wool (which is itself hand spun to create one-of-a-kind tonal variations). Tradition made contemporary. That is how Nanimarquina approaches the production and design of each of their distinctive, award-winning area rugs. Nanimarquina rugs range from natural and understated to modern and dazzlingly vibrant. No matter how avant garde the designs (or innovative the materials used to make them), all Nanimarquina rugs are made using time-tested methods and tools of hand-crafting. Photo Courtesy of Lumens
