Hand-knotted in a special blend of Ghazni wool, this rug from the custom-classics Burano Collection by Rug & Kilim is inspired by vintage and antique Oushak rug designs. On the Design: A field with brown, beige and green tones underscores a play of geometric floral patterns celebrated in the Oushak style—known among many beauties for their more feminine sensibilities and unexpected colors. Admirers of the craft will note this collection’s reimagining of these styles in more cool, modern tones seldom seen in their past, as well as the subtle sheen of the silk, both of which lend a current sensibility and movement to their old-world beauty. Keen eyes for the tactile may further appreciate an especially soft, comfortable texture and beauty inherent to the Ghazni wool that underscores this piece. It’s an intentional contribution to a classic for a more contemporary level of comfort, and one of the many beauties that makes this collection a sophisticated, smart new language in design. The culmination of these elements and more results in an elegant reinvention of a timeless classic with thoughtful and refreshing contemporary contributions for today’s designer.
