• Art Deco Hildo Krop Rug  – Browns and beige’s and yellows are intriguingly swirled together in this captivating and beautiful art deco rug that is perhaps more immediately reminiscent of an abstract painting than it is of what one is used to thinking of when one imagines a rug. But then, perhaps that’s the point.
• The intriguing and asymmetrical composition of this piece is jarring for its apparent lopsidedness, but rather than being intimidating for its eccentricity, it is instead somehow inviting: one cannot help but want to get a closer look at it, to get up close and really study it. Perhaps because it so boldly challenges our conventional thinking. Perhaps because of something deep and hard to explain. Or perhaps just because it’s clearly so beautifully done.
• Looked at in a portrait orientation, this rug might suggest any number of images. Perhaps the entrance to a cave, or a huge smoggy cloud in an evening sky. Looked at in a landscape orientation, however, there is one image that more aggressively jumps out: that of a pair of blonde haired people down on bent knees before a smoldering fire. When I first looked at this rug that way and saw that image, I was taken aback by it and couldn’t help but smile. There’s something deeply satisfying about making that connection with this piece, and seeing the designer’s clever handiwork come to life.
