Unveil vibrant carpets crafted by renowned designers and artisans worldwide
In the world of interior design, a new wave of colourful rug collections is captivating the imagination of designers and homeowners alike. These collections, from brands such as Beni Rugs, Nordic Knots, The Future Perfect and Christopher Farr, Layered, Jan Kath, Richard Hutten for Jaipur Rugs, Rrres, Olivia Cognet and Atelier Fevrier, Maarten De Ceulaer for CC-Tapis, Art & Loom, and Ruggable and Pantone, draw inspiration from a combination of traditional craftsmanship, cultural heritage, art, and modern design innovation.
Beni Rugs and Beni Looms, deeply rooted in Moroccan Berber traditions, craft handmade wool rugs that reflect the authentic, handcrafted soul of Moroccan culture. The rugs often embrace a bohemian, eclectic style with vibrant patterns and organic motifs.
Nordic Knots and similar brands often focus on Nordic design principles that blend minimalism with craftsmanship, though specific inspiration was not detailed. The Modernist Collection by Nordic Knots introduces six rugs that balance crisp lines and rigorous geometry with soft New Zealand wool, inspired by the design philosophy of Swedish Funkis.
The Future Perfect and Christopher Farr are known for integrating art, architecture, and historical design influences. Their collaboration has resulted in a series of five rugs, debuted at Milan Design Week 2025, which feature bold motifs informed by Art Deco and mid-century geometric design, realized in hand-knotted, handspun wool and silk of varying piles.
Jan Kath's Adja collection pays tribute to Bauhaus principles through generous proportions, clear lines, and a restrained palette. Each rug is hand-knotted in Kathmandu from Tibetan highland wool and Chinese silk, with subtle color gradients and natural irregularities known as 'abrash' highlighting the beauty of hand-spun fibers and traditional dyeing.
Olivia Cognet and Atelier Fevrier, Maarten De Ceulaer for CC-Tapis, Art & Loom similarly combine artisanal techniques with innovative patterns and materials — frequently emphasizing texture, color layering, and experimental weaving. The Orpheu collection by Garcé & Dimofski, unveiled during Paris Design Week 2025, consists of eight rugs inspired by Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa and features graphic motifs in a palette inspired by the Portuguese landscape. One design, Cobalt, combines knotted and flat-woven wool and evokes the deep blue of traditional azulejos.
Ruggable and Pantone focus on colour expertise; their collaboration likely centers on curated colour palettes by Pantone brought into resilient, washable rug formats that fuse practical innovation with striking colour design.
The Playing with Tradition collection by Richard Hutten and Jaipur Rugs layers contemporary motifs on top of traditional rug patterns, referencing the Indian festival of Holi and silent film humor. The rugs in the collection are handmade using natural wool and silk.
Layered, a Swedish rug brand, channels Le Corbusier's colour theory in La Palette 1931/1959, a series of four wool rugs inspired by Corbusier's colour theory. Each shade was selected to evoke harmony and contrast.
Art & Loom's Kolaz collection features playful cut outs and overlapping forms, colours, and patterns, hand-knotted in merino wool, Chinese silk, and allo-linen.
Richard Hutten's designs for Jaipur Rugs splice styles and eras, resulting in unique rugs that blend traditional and contemporary aesthetics.
In conclusion, the inspiration behind these colourful collections merges artisanal, handcrafted rug-making traditions (such as Moroccan Berber rug patterns), historical and regional art influences (French Rococo, Nordic minimalism), and modern design innovation, including collaborations with artists and colour experts to create unique, vibrant, and culturally resonant pieces.
