Hand-knotted in silk and cotton, this 12x18 contemporary oversized rug is an exciting new addition to Rug & Kilim’s Textural collection, with an impressive use of a humble palette in its unique play on stripes, high and low pattern, and the subtlety of monochromatic rugs. On the Design: Tones of beige, taupe and cream underscore a simple series of striae and subtle patterns—an intricate patternless approach to pattern that speaks to this collection’s philosophy that “simple” never means “ordinary. It’s a versatile choice of neutral, cozy color and soft presence, and a sophisticated, high-end answer to solid rugs that’s comfortable in any space; a whimsical, yet livable piece among our most luxurious textural rugs. Admirers of the craft and keen eyes will further appreciate the natural sheen of the silk blend that plays so naturally with the colorway, bringing out the soft, inviting texture in a unique play of the light and more subtly engaging sense of movement than most contemporary rugs of this reserved quality enjoy. It’s a work of subtlety and intricate craft, made to sit with any furniture and style with a tasteful elegance.
