On the Design:

Green and off-white tones underscore a simple, minimalist play of stripes and geometric patterns, with subdued blue accents in the green that play beautifully with the other refreshing tones at work. Admirers of the craft will note the border motifs, which resemble a geometric interpretation of cypress trees in an almost ikats style—a playful new take on a classic befitting this piece’s reimagination of a celebrated Indian rug style. Keen eyes will further admire the subtle look of abrashed patina and striation within the stripes—an intricate and thoughtful revival of the classic look of Kilims and similar pieces brought to a more livable, modern quality. less
