These beautiful rugs were some of the best new design presented at Maison et Objet in Paris. The exquisite detail and historic references weaved into Italian duo du jour Dimorestudio‘s Paralleli (top)bring together baroque, Persian and Indian motifs set against rough hewn seams and monochromatic fields for a whole new modernity. Patricia Urquiola’s trompe l’oeil reflects her current love of bauhauesque composition and colors, a palette returning in many designers offerings this year and last, such as Zaven’s geometric rug for CC-Tapis.
