With four graphic and impactful patterns, the Architectural collection of rugs from Los Angeles- and New York-based Erik Lindström introduce a statement-making element to any interior. Designed by Lindström himself, the rugs in the Architectural collection are the latest addition to his eponymous studio’s portfolio of handcrafted rugs for residential and hospitality settings.
As the collection name implies, the four rug patterns included – Corbus, Empire, Kindred and Division – were inspired by different forms and styles of architectural structures and theories, ranging from art deco to mid-century. Variations in pile height, materials and weaving techniques give each its own expressive personality.
A compelling composition of geometric shapes and shades, Corbus is informed by tribal motifs with a general nod to the art deco movement. Made from a blend of Tibetan wool and fine silk, Corbus is offered in three colourways: Malibu, Bainbridge and Aspen.
With a textured grid-like surface recalling a blueprint drawing, Division features uniform sectors in varying sizes separated by raised silken lines. Made from a blend of Tibetan wool and Chinese silk, Division is offered in four colourways: Blush, Cafe, Desert and Ocean.
Inspired by iconic architectural landmarks in New York City, Empire (as in the State Building) is a composition of staggered lines running across its face that form a skyline profile repeated in multiple directions. Made from Tibetan wool, Empire is offered in four colourways: Sahara, Azul, Slate and Adobe.
Kindred features a striking and balanced intersection of lines, shapes and voids, playing with texture through a combination of low and high piles in a continuous and systematic arrangement. Made from Tibetan wool, Kindred is offered in four two-tone colourways: Ash + Cream, Mocha + Cream, Ocean + Cream and Gold + Cream.
All four rugs that are in the Architectural collection are hand-knotted in Nepal and are available in standard versions but can also be customized for size, shape, colour and material.
