Musings
Catalan painter Joan Miró once said that he tried to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music. Our capsule collection of rugs inspired by modern art and Colin King's Shape of Color series do just the same.

How you see the world colors how you understand your place within it.
The warmth of the summer sun feels golden yellow just as a downpour of rain cloaks the soil in clear refreshment. Somehow it all makes sense with hues and happenings speaking to each other like a root system of poetry.
We think of our Modern Art capsule collection as a series of paintings you can run your fingers through. An ode to the movements and masters of chromatic expression, each design is a painterly homage to an artist we admire.

Speaking a similar language, Colin King's collection, The Shape of Color, distills color and form to their primary roots to challenge our conception of color theory and combination. Lines, rectangles, and stripes intersect, run parallel, hover on margins, and nearly intersect to create a sense of quiet intrigue and highlight the sumptuous hand-woven craftsmanship of each rug.

“In particular, I was struck by how Donald Judd used color as material,” says King. “The shapes he used were simple because they’re only meant to be carriers of color; to transport the color.”
