For his first collaboration with Marc Phillips, the New York- and Los Angeles-based maker of luxury handmade rugs, California native Josh Greene (who opened his eponymous New York City interior design studio in 2019) turned to the Usonian homes of Frank Lloyd Wright for inspiration. Called Arcadia, each hand-knotted rug in the six-pattern series illustrates the spirit and philosophy of the house it’s named for and, collectively, they express “utopia through balanced simplicity.” Inspired by the homes’ honest materials, thoughtful design and warm tones, the hand-knotted rugs are made from wool (with one linen-wool blend) and have individual colour palettes composed of unique sun-washed tones.

The intriguing series includes Gordon (in Emerald, Mandarin, Pebble and Spruce), Hanna (in Spice, String, Sky and Bark), Jackson (in River, Tortoise, Pool and Butterscotch), Kinney (in Chestnut, Cloud, Denim and Mahogany), Duncan (in Buttermilk, Wheat, Brick and Cocoa) and Wilson (in Lime, Aqua, Lemon and Lava), and each conveys a distinct and intriguing personality. Featuring architectural geometries, classic yet contemporized motifs and alluring textures, the Arcadia collection is Greene’s translation of deep-rooted design principles for new generations.
