The design uses bold color contrast, setting warm rings of orange and gold against cool fields of gray and lavender.

On the Design:

This dramatic runner rug is a work of art of cyclical, abstract geometry, transforming a functional space into a gallery of color and form. Hand-knotted in wool and silk, the design is a sophisticated and highly stylized deconstruction of the traditional medallion format.

The design is inspired by antique Mamluk rugs of some of the most sought-after medallion designs, reimagined with some of the most unexpected, refreshing modern colors.

It r features a continuous, repeating pattern of interlocking octagonal and circular motifs, creating a powerful sense of rhythm and movement down the length of the hall.

The design utilizes bold color blocking and contrasting temperatures: warm rings of vivid orange, coral, and antique gold are set against cool, muted fields of soft gray, lavender, and faded taupe.

Subtle lines and angular accents in yellow-gold enhance the mosaic-like precision of the geometric structure.

The entire surface is treated with an intentional color wash, giving the bold, modern geometry a time-worn, antique patina.

This masterful finish softens the lines and causes the colors to beautifully bleed and blend.

The result is a truly unique foundation that balances the clarity of modern design with the rich complexity of a treasured, aged textile. See less
