Kelly Wearstler: A Rug Collection to Remember

As an interior designer, Kelly Wearstler finds influence in Modernism and old Hollywood glamour as created by Dorothy Draper and William Haines, and the work of architect Aldo Rossi. Her style has been described as Hollywood Regency and Maximalism. She is credited, alongside Jonathan Adler and Miles Redd, to have brought “the florid and the decorative back to interior design”. Today, focusing on rugs, we bring you her fantastic products so you can get inspired.

Drawing inspiration from the natural veining of stone and marble, the organic line work of Tracery shifts and shimmers as the light hits the silk threads. The background is Tibetan wool in a warm grey colour, with the motif in soft olive green silk.

Wake is a hand-painted design that draws inspiration from the fluidity and movement of water. It is a confident yet transitional pattern. The intricacy of the line work feels sophisticated and elegant in any space, while layered hues channel a sense of rich dimension and texture. Composed of Hand-knotted Tibetan wool and silk.

Archetype Lake started as a pencil linework drawing, inspired by Bauhaus Design. Its repeating forms and architectural lines are reminiscent of a blueprint layout and feature a contrast of round and angular, geometric shapes.

Bravado Graphite is a graphic angular design, contrasted in a combination of graphite and ivory wool motifs. The design is simple and impactful and reflects a signature modern aesthetic.

An adaptation of the best-selling Channels area rug, the Channels runner melds the aesthetic of art and expressive design. Hand-painted brushstrokes are transformed into vivid silk stripes on a Tibetan wool background. The intentionally casual edging of the lines captures the freehand nature of the artwork.

Sidewinding ribbons in a spectrum of color compose this soulful carpet. The fluid natural curves of Parallax embody an energetic singular movement. Crafted of hand-knotted wool and bamboo silk.

Tableau is an abstract graphic print in a large scale that brings a direct boldness to any space. In a signature reference, it is a modern take on street art, and is available in three dynamic colourways.

Brink delicately balances geometry with cascading organic dots to create a unique rug that is both structured as well as free form. Brink embodies a textured background providing depth beyond the surface of this organic geometric design.

Lively and bold, Flaunt garners inspiration from both raw natural wood grain and the fluidity and movement of water. Bursts of sheeny blue hand knotted silk flow across a neutral wool base.

Organic and abstract, Channels melds the aesthetic of art and expressive graphic design. The rug transforms hand painted brushstrokes into vivid silk stripes on a Tibetan wool background. The intentionally casual edging of the lines captures the freehand nature of the artwork.
