In the Loop
From Tufenkian’s Designers Reserve Collection comes the recently introduced and wonderfully patterned handmade Tibetan wool and silk Clover Loop Matcha carpet. Design by the American artist and designer Kevin Walz, the cream clover-like loops are high cut piles of silk, yielding an oh-so-lush texture.

Once again, Tufenkian’s Topo Blush pops up in our favorite magazines! This month, Rug Insider highlights the design in its Trend Spotting feature article.

“From today’s fashion runways to tomorrows most fashionable homes, the latest color craze is bold, fearless and anything but neutral.”

Waltz Lichen by Barbara Barry for Tufenkian’s Variations collection was highlighted in the monthly Rugs feature. “Twists and turns and curlicues…they’ll dance across the floor and animate any room.”

“Barbara Barry describes her twirling designs as a pirouette. Graceful indeed!” –Orli Ben-Dor

Laura Kostelny, contributor to the D Home blog, featured the New Moderns collection by Laura Kirar:

Unfortunately, the carpet around my desk is a little—how should I put this?—cluttered. If only I had something from the New Moderns Collection by noted interior designer Laura Kirar and Tufenkian.

And thanks to Tufenkian, the hemp and wool creations aren’t just easy on the eyes, they’re lovely for the face should you choose to lie down. Like I would. Go here to check out more from the collection.”
