Although we are used to seeing all modern rugs featuring the boldest and most colorful of designs, this modern carpet decided to go another way and experiment with something that is often forgotten by weavers and the public – texture. Handwoven using materials of the highest quality, this piece boasts a rather fascinating composition, which reminds me of a warm winter sweater. The weaver experimented with multiple ways of knotting to create a true masterpiece. While the color palette of the flat weave rug utilizes solely shades of beige, the way they were put together is nothing short of perfection. Doris Leslie Blau carries an exceptional collection of original modern rugs in many styles and materials. Contemporary hand-made rugs are a bridge throughout history, they are the fruit of the constant evolution of the weaving craft that has accompanied men since the dawn of civilization.
