A 4×12 rug from the Mid-Century Modern Collection by Rug & Kilim—a bold reimagining of 1950s styes unseen in luxury hand-knotted rugs before. In collaboration with modern artist El Gato Gomez, this particular near-runner piece enjoys a retro futurist vibe in the geometry, with deliciously chic hues of off-white, beige-brown, blue and black atop a gently abrashed green background. The colorway and pattern enjoy a natural luster from the blend of hand-knotted wool and natural silk unique to this proprietary blend—as unique as the gracious scale, refined curvature, and overall modernization of this mid-20th-century aesthetic. Especially appealing to maximalist interiors, gallery spaces, wide hallways, entryways, and a wide array of modern interiors welcoming a most sophisticated, yet playful aura in art rugs.
About the Artist in Collaboration:
Operating out of California, the works of Crystal “El Gato” Gomez were as arresting and enigmatic as the name she took in founding her studio, exemplifying what we mean when we refer to our collaborators as unmistakable in style. Arguably the boldest and funkiest of illustrators, painters, and digital artists we’ve represented in the collection, Gomez’s feline signature and atomic age style have been seen on some of the wildest works of pictorial illustration, canvas art, and various fashion lines in the field, catching Josh’s eye in a way few other artists have.
There’s a range to El Gato’s work that cannot be understated in the discussion of a style that’s never been seen in our industry before — especially in her pictorials where some works enjoy lively, gotham-like sensibility and others depict other-worldly settings capturing the eye like no other. In the effort to do justice to a movement born of creative personalities, Josh was drawn to El Gato’s work and remains confident to see her “retro futurism” received like no other mid-century modern rugs have in the market before following Rug & Kilim’s recent unveiling of our collaboration. While her work has been seen in premier clothing lines, galleries, and other celebrated mediums, this collaboration represents the first representation of her work in bespoke rugs.
