On the Design:

Admirers of the craft may further note an influence from Kazak rugs in this design, as if inspired by a rare piece of cultural marriage between Caucasian and Afghani rugs and flatweaves in nomadic sensibilities. Keen eyes for detail may admire this rug’s dense, elaborate design in field and border alike, with geometric patterns, a large-sized medallion and primitivist motifs in a wide range of rich colors. Though its polychromatic colorway is one of its inherent beauties—an impressive range of colors with fabulous movement meant to recapture the look and feel of these classic inspirations—there are especially present black, red, gold, and beige-brown tones among the many at play.

Designers and connoisseurs alike will further note an especially soft, comfortable texture and beauty inherent to the Ghazni wool that underscores this piece. It’s an intentional contribution to a classic for a more contemporary level of comfort, and one of the many beauties that makes this collection a sophisticated, smart new language in design. See less
