Contemporary Area Rugs - Night Sky by Deborah Moss

Ruckstuhl: Night Sky, Deborah Moss’s contribution to Edition Ruckstuhl, is by far the smallest carpet in this collection. Its dimensions alone underscore the intimate character of its design, which displays an impressive poetry. The delicate colour gradients on the hand-painted felt depict an authentic image of the infinite expanses of the night sky. Stitched-on crystals create a vibrant contrast to the simplicity of the base material, lending an air of luxury to this carpet.

Pure Wool Area Rug - Hypnos by Atelier Oï

The Hypnos rug does exactly the opposite – instead of pulling you into the universe, it pushes you down a spiraling hole.  Rather than a depressive state, Hypnos is an elegant example of movement and pattern.  Centered in a room, the rug may give the impression that your furniture has a gravitational pull toward it.

Contemporary Area Rugs - Hypnos Rug by Atelier OïRuckstuhl: The design of the Hypnos carpet was inspired by “Les Danseuses”, a kinetic installation which Atelier Oï presented in 2009 on the occasion of the grand opening of its new office and workshop building in La Neuveville. Within the circular, ever narrower wavy lines that characterise the carpet’s striking pattern, the installation’s motif of rotating, ornamentally perforated textile umbrellas that instinctively evoked an association with the robes of whirling dervishes has been frozen in place.

Pure Wool and Sheepskin Rug - Pompon by Hugo Zumbühl

Ruckstuhl Rug’s whimsical side shows with the Pompon rug.  It’s three dimensional effect has a spontaneously happy aura, making you smile each time you see it.

Pure Wool and Sheepskin Rug - Pompon by Hugo ZumbühlRuckstuhl: The starting point for Zumbühl’s contribution to Edition Ruckstuhl was once again a material discovery. The backing fabric for the Pompon carpet with its dense white tuft is made of chenille yarn, a particularly plush wool thread that has practically disappeared from the market. Pompoms stitched in at regular intervals animate the surface structure and provide colourful accents. The result is a spontaneous image of a flowery meadow illuminated only by the light of the moon.

Pure Wool and Sheepskin Rug - Pompon by Hugo ZumbühlRuckstuhl has distributors all over the US, and will create its rugs in custom sizes and colors to suit your needs.  Using natural materials of wool, linen, and silk, they create heirloom quality rugs that will last a lifetime.  Check out the entire line to find a rug that is perfect for you.

Madeline Weinrib’s Distinctive Decorating

Contemporary Area Rugs by Madeline Weinrib

ABC Rugs

Sassy colors and a touch of whimsy appear to be the hallmark of Madeline Weinrib’s line of carpets and textiles, featured at ABC Carpet & Home in NYC.  With her own floor in the home furnishing giant’s multi-story location, Madeline Weinrib is part of the company’s legacy as the great granddaughter of its founder.  Table linens, bedding, and unusual furniture punctuate the rest of the line.

 Her vivid taste for color and pattern is evident in the unique patterns.  Lime green, bright orange and hot pink are interspersed with hits of black and white for optimal impact.  A distinct Turkish in addition to  Moroccan influence can be felt through the complicated batik and ikat patterns that are the hallmark of her textiles.  Madeline Weinrib’s own line includes pillows and handbags using her boldly stated designs.


 The rugs featured in the line are a complement to the complexity of the textiles.  The bold geometric statements have been enlarged and simplified to reflect the details in the pattern, and create art for the floor.  Madeline Weinrib’s love of pattern and color are evident.  Oversized mums are a visual feast in a wool and silk rug, and trefoil patterns create a joyous feel in her Lavender Charm design.  Her approach to design is a one of a kind style that will be the hallmark of any room.
