Rugs and more rugs

One of the things I really admired during the Design Week in Milan was the variety of rugs exhibited at the Fair and around the city in different installations.
Here are just a few examples:

I+I Rugs

Paolo Giordano from I + I creates new rugs with traditional patterns, a clever mix of old and new.

A different, whimsical shape for Patricia Urquiola’s rugs.

The look of an antique rug for a contemporary one at Moroso’s showroom.

An extravagant rug by Luca Nichetto for Nodus, the different pieces are tied together with several short ribbons so I guess they can be composed in different shapes and sizes.

An explosion of colors and patterns.

And talking about color of course Missoni (more on the brand new Missoni Home Milanese showroom in a future post) who this year has chosen a pattern of Pixels for some creations, quite appropriate for the digital time we are in.

A rug creates and defines a space and can enhance any interior, making it more luxurious or just more comfortable, colorful and elegant.
