On The Design:

Admirers of the craft will appreciate this rug’s playful polychromatic colorway, which exemplifies one of Müren’s particular hallmarks in design—that being a love of unexpected, joyful colors, even in his more traditional geometric patterns like this simple, yet fun all over diamond design. Though the variety of tones is inherent to the beauty and sense of movement it enjoys, there’s an especially present range of pastels at work in this piece—a particularly bright, refreshing palette for spaces seeking a colorful, yet comfortable presence.This smart, yet livable marriage of traditional and modern elements speaks to Müren as a student of his craft and eclectic designer alike, and the transitional, almost modern sense of life his approach breathes into more traditional patterns. It’s a light and playful piece with the whimsy of a 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 suspected works curated today.

Condition:

This mid-century rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin. Its pile height has been lowered to preserve its construction, which lends it the distressed look of wear and boho chic in the nap—a low pile height well-suited to swinging and sliding doors, among many clearance-conscious design applications.
