On the Design:

One of the many arts of this piece is its rich beige field design which exemplifies intricate geometric patterns in red, blue and green tones that span its entire surface, showcasing a remarkable level of detail and precision. This special rug features playful and traditional elements that speaks to Müren as an eclectic designer and marks his rugs distinct in his period. Connoisseurs may admire the playful sense of movement and the modern sense of life this piece breathes into more traditional patterns. Another playful piece from Müren’s repertoire that embodies postmodernist appeal of the time and whimsical yet smart sensibilities, in the most exceptional color and a great size suited to wider spaces—as versatile for interior design as it is collectible for admirers of this provenance.

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
