Featuring slender bamboo groves anchored by traditional rockery against an open sand-beige field, it brings poetic warmth and graphic grace underfoot.

On the Design:

During the 1920s and 1930s, the Chinese Art Deco movement revolutionized textile design by merging classical Eastern symbolism with the sleek, spacious aesthetics of Western Deco interiors. Master weavers and studio pioneers championed dramatic open fields that allowed natural elements to breathe as painterly vignettes. This contemporary runner pays homage to that celebrated legacy, capturing the quiet intelligence of vintage Asian modernism through an ethereal botanical layout.

Anchored at the base by stylized, wave-carved rockery in notes of indigo and slate blue, slender bamboo stalks in warm rust-coral sway gracefully along the edges of the canvas. Feathered leaves in forest green, sage, and olive drift across an expansive, sun-bleached beige ground, evoking a tranquil bamboo grove catching a light breeze. Hand-knotted in rich wool, the soft pile illuminates the delicate linework and organic abrash. Symbolizing resilience and harmony, this artful runner offers a poetic, storytelling foundation for entryways, hallways, and curated gallery corridors. The accompanying book, Upstate: Living Spaces with Space to Live by Lisa Przystup, is part of Volumes by Rug & Kilim. The book (SKU - B360) can be acquired independently through our bookstore.
