A Tale of Nine Cities

-- Interior Design, 5/31/2009 12:00:00 AM

Urban planning and the great cities of the past, present, and future inspired Tracey Sawyer to create her Where Are We Going? collection for the Nought Collective. In studying the geometries formed by civilization and its surrounding natural environment, the designer created nine map-like patterns—including BGT (Baghdad), NYC (New York), and (PEK) Beijing—composed of lines, curves, and shaded blocks. Tufted to a ¼-inch pile with 100 knots per inch or 1/5-inch pile with 80 knots per inch, these rugs just might stop traffic in the living room. 212-620-3024; thenoughtcollective.com. circle 617
