California fashion designer Trina Turk is known for the vibrant colours and bold signature prints of her contemporary ready-to-wear lines inspired by the Golden State’s unique culture, craftsmanship, architecture and landscape. With the Trina Turk collection for Flor, she brings her one-of-a-kind style to an exclusive edition of area rugs.
Each of the five boisterous rugs in the Trina Turk collection – California Dreaming, Here Comes the Sun, Racquet Club, Spiral Out and Twin Palms – are influenced by the designer’s personal archives and her world travels, favourite patterns and colours and vintage materials.
Putting a contemporary spin on retro geometric stripes, Twin Palms plays with curves, lines and slightly organic shapes in varying tonal shades. Offered in six colourways: Maize, Tundra, Teal, Tidal, Pink and Black.
California Dreaming pairs a classic trellis pattern with a mid-century modern breeze block motif to perfectly encapsulate the style and energy of Palm Springs. Offered in six colourways: Pink, Tawny, Chalk, Teal, Maize and Persimmon.
Like the sun’s dazzling rays, the geometric pattern of Here Comes the Sun adds vibrancy and energy to any setting. Offered in four colourways: Blush, Bright White / Gold, Light Blue and Marigold.
Slightly more subdued than the others, Spiral Out still possesses its own sense of fun. Offered in five colourways: Midnight, Flint, Dune, Cocoa and Topaz.
Racquet Club takes a classic cane weaving pattern to new heights with its subtly exaggerated and layered lines. Offered in four colourways: Kiwi, Eggnog, Marigold and Wheat.
The entire Trina Turk collection for Flor is responsibly made from recyclable materials that are 100 per cent net carbon-neutral. The rugs are actually made from individual 50-by-50-centimetre carpet tiles, with the number of tiles needed depending on the size of the rug desired (for example, it takes 12 tiles to make a 5’ x 7’ rug and 42 tiles to make a 10’ x 12’ rug; custom sizing is also available). Even more interesting, within each of the five styles no two carpet tile is alike, meaning they won’t align when placed side by side, lending the resulting pattern a compelling inconsistency.
