Girard Plus Rug

Maharam Design Studio specializes in the design and development of textiles for residential and commercial interiors. Balancing an appreciation of history with a focus on aesthetic and industrial innovation, Maharam’s textiles reside in the permanent collections of MoMA, Cooper Hewitt and the Art Institute of Chicago, among others. The Plus Rug (1960) by Alexander Girard features a bold bicolored pattern of plus signs set against a contrasting background. It’s handwoven from cotton using the dhurrie technique. Made in India.
