From painterly hand-knotted masterpieces to high-performance, velvety textures, these buzz-worthy rug launches are bringing a fresh design perspective underfoot. Whether it’s a globetrotting collaboration inspired by Japanese ceramics, a fashion-forward nod to denim, or an ultra-soft alpaca, these designs reflect an innovative, artful approach to floor coverings. Here, we spotlight five standout rug collections for the modern interior.
Alfredo Peredes x Patterson Flynn
Interior and product designer, Alfredo Peredes has been on fire this year. He released a new book, launched a collection in his debut showroom at the 313 Space at High Point Market, and now a new rug collaboration with Patterson Flynn. The collection is cool, versatile and unexpected with urbane graphic patterns and fashion-forward nods to Japanese denim.
The Amadi Rug Collection at Dixon Rye
Drawing inspiration from the natural stratification of rugged terrains, these hand-knotted wool rugs created by the Amadi family for Dixon Rye capture the organic beauty of weathered stone and sediment layers. The painterly compositions feature earthy palettes of ochre, rust, olive green, slate blue and charcoal, echoing the shifting tones and textures found in canyon walls and ancient rock formations.
Each hand-knotted piece embodies exceptional artistry through its abstract, layered design that offers both movement and groundedness, creating warm evocative focal points underfoot.
Christopher Farr x Makoto Kagoshima x Chariots on Fire
Japanese ceramicist Makoto Kagoshima is celebrated around the globe for his whimsical botanical motifs on vivid hand-painted ceramics. Kagoshima has joined forces with rug maker Christopher Farr and the Venice, California, design gallery Chariots on Fire on limited edition collectible rugs.
Each rug is handmade in Afghanistan, crafted from high-lanolin Ghazni wool and dyed using traditional hand-spun methods, the rugs feature a natural variation in color known as abrash, an effect that echoes Kagoshima’s expressive, textured ceramics.
