On the Design:

A clean, natural ivory field serves as a bright canvas for a joyful, borderless scattering of colorful geometric motifs.

The design is dominated by scattered diamond shapes—some densely colored, others open and transparent—which float freely across the expanse.

The field is further energized by smaller, abstract symbols, including cross-hatches, dashes, and lozenges, which lend the piece a spontaneous, primitivist geometric charm.

Keen eyes will particularly admire how each motif enjoys a unique play of polychromatic colors (including soft blues, oranges, pinks, and greens), and the sense of whimsical, scattered life it lends this piece.

A bright lime-green zigzag border frames the textile, providing a bold, graphic containment.

Admirers of the craft will further appreciate the unique revival of this technique in an all-wool construction and intricate weaving—a more durable way to recreate these old-world textile designs while still capturing their fabulous, elegant look.

Each piece is so unique and deeply personal in its particular details and whimsical beauties that distinguish the style in our craft—as much vibrant works of folk art as they are warm and welcoming choices for the floor. See less
