On the Design:

Polychromatic geometric patterns, mosaic-like in their beauty, with a bright tangerine red underscores the field and border alike. The former enjoys geometric patterns in rows of diagonal squares, with both an impressive range of colors and a playful, yet brilliant use of them—one of Müren’s hallmarks, his unexpected, whimsical, one-of-a-kind use of more joyful colors that brighten any space. It’s a light and playful piece with the whimsy of a Zeki Müren rug, but also with the comfortable and livable undertone that his works also embody, so thoughtful in their approach to the postmodernist appeal of the time and collectible in his works curated today.

Condition:

This mid-century rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. Its pile has been lowered to maintain its construction, which creates the look of a distressed rug, though it is perfectly ready for the floor as is. See less
