Peace Industry - Lace

When most couples exchange presents, it often ends with, "Where'd ya get that?" But when designer Melina Raissnia received a small felt rug from her husband, Dodd, it spiked an obsession that would only be sated with an 8,000-mile adventure. Arriving in Tehran, they scoured the main bazaars to no avail. But after traversing nomadic mountain camps and villages, the couple eventually located small enclaves where aged craftsmen keep the art of felt making alive. Peace Industry was born soon after, firmly rooting the pair in the rug business.
Designed in the Raissnias' San Francisco studio, the patterns are produced in the company's fair-trade workshop in Turkey, employing the same processes that nomads in Central Asia used for centuries. Spunky shapes in earthy colors figure prominently in the latest releases, including the jaunty honeycomb of Hive and the cellular composure of Screen. Jupiter sports a cyclic crisscross, Lace super imposes circular and linear forms, and Fuller resembles shadows cast from a stained-glass window. The rugs are handmade in small batches using lamb's wool and natural dyes, in any custom color and size up to 12 by 14 feet. To eliminate waste, remnants from rug making are repurposed into hand-sewn baskets and ottomans. 415-255-9940; peaceindustry.com.

Jaipur Rugs - Opus

Picture this: 500 new patterns to peruse. It's just another season for Jaipur Rugs, as the rug maker unveils a full gallery of exhibition-level entries. The traditional origin of Opus is gently updated through a new dyeing process, which mimics the mottled look of vegetable dyes in hand-knotted wool. Classical damask patterns deconstruct into abstraction in Geode, a blend of hand-knotted wool and silk. And in the vendor's burgeoning fl at-weave category, Maroc is a reversible wool dhurrie inspired by colorful 1960's graphics, while the jagged geometry of Feza is executed in hemp. Choose from a range of standard sizes and colorways. 888-676-7330; jaipurrugs.com.

Tai Ping - Dissonance I

There's a time for everything-especially if it's timeless. Tai Ping director of design and creative development Yasmina Benazzou pays deference to avant-garde structures, mid-century textiles, and Bauhaus weavings in Epoch, a 17-pattern synthesis of geometry and abstraction. Informed by the angles and contours of modernist icons, the rugs are hand-tufted in a variety of fi bers; black and gray serve as prevailing neutrals.
The random stripes of Dissonance I reference 20th-century textile legend Sonia Delaunay, in a blend of wool, wool lace, and dull silk. Architecture is the muse of Archetype I, a network of interrupted lines in wool lace on a dull-silk background. Wool and fl ax intermingle in Time I, its rectangular grid subtly streaked in blue. Diamonds arise from raised wool triangles in Paradigm I, a dynamic take on traditional harlequin motifs. Similarly angular forms also dictate Omission I, a broken zigzag with a textured wool background and accents of dull silk. But the source turns natural in Parody I, a large-scale python skin imagined in wool and dull silk. All sizes are custom. 212-979-2233; more

Arzu Studio Hope - Puzz

Proving once again that social responsibility and design consciousness aren't mutually exclusive, Arzu Studio Hope unveils the Masters Collection: limited-edition patterns conceived by six internationally renowned architects, each of whom donated their talents to support Arzu's mission of empowering the Afghan women who handcraft their rugs.
Leading the roster are five Interior Design Hall of Fame members. Frank Gehry interpolates the dynamism of 3-D objects onto surfaces with Puzz, based on models his team created for a pop-up store. In Arabesque, Michael Graves offers an organic confi guration with no obvious top or bottom, making it properly oriented from any viewpoint. Robert A.M. Stern considers Volute both geometric and botanic, modern and classical, as fluid arrangements of spirals climb through tidy latticework. From the husband-and-wife principals of Tigerman McCurry Architects, Margaret McCurry imagines faded tribal symbols on ancient dwellings in Simeon, while Stanley Tigerman's Abrahamic Tribal Patterning recalls Moorish traditions. Finally, reigning starchitect Zaha Hadid plays with perspective in ZH, pitting faint sketchbook strokes against a blazing ground.
The numbered rugs are hand-knotted using wool that's been spun and dyed by hand, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The launch coincides with Arzu's new alliance with Coalesse. 866-645-6952; more
