Zoë Luyendijk Studio Wyrd Stripe is part of the Ku collection, which derives its name from the Sanskrit for the words earth, soil, and land. This Tibetan hand-knotted carpet is made of natural materials: hemp as well as wool that's been carded, spun, and dyed by hand. The unearthly beauty of Zoë Luyendijk's designs—inspired by word play, ideas, and ancient weavings—take on symbolic importance. Visit site.
718: Furniture Gavin Benjamin's Victorians rug collection for Tissage du Monde was inspired by his love of Merchant Ivory films. The organic feel of many of the designs unites hard and soft elements. Handmade of Tibetan wool. Visit site.
Bentley Prince Street "Contemporary shag" is the only way to describe the high-loop construction of Crepe Suzette, by Suzanne Tick. The lush pile comes in punchy, joyful colors. Visit site.
Rug Company Ever stylish, the Rug Company makes a habit of enlisting fashion designers to create fab rugs. Marni's Consuelo Castiglioni developed this fresh floral—an obvious choice for spring. With a warm brown ground, however, Castiglioni's contribution is sure to make a lovely accent for more than one season.
Karastan Paisley Noveau is one of 20 slightly abstract new patterns, for a subtle but distinct look. A bonus: The yarns are engineered for exceptional softness. Visit site.
Carini Lang Dainty isn't exactly our bag—we like florals with flower power. Luckily, Joseph Carini is developing Mums, a handwoven rug in vegetable-dyed silk. We can't wait to see the finished product. Visit site.
NU The Nowrooz collection offers the first contemporary carpets made by artisans in Iran. The hand-knotted, vegetable-dyed wool rugs feature Hassan Majd's expressionistic designs, some inspired by Hakhamaneshi-era figurines. Visit site.
Nanimarquina In green, the Písame Mucho carpet resembles a patchwork of grasses. In blue, the design takes on the look of a pebble beach. Brown gives the impression of a forest floor scattered with autumnal leaves. At Design Within Reach. Visit site.
