On the Design:

Keen eyes for detail may note a range of purple and red hues, from aubergine to burgundy, and a beautiful element of positive negative they enjoy against the juxtaposed blue undertone. Admirers of the craft will appreciate Müren’s signature at play in the choice of such unexpected, playful hues with more traditional geometry—a hallmark of his transitional look, among the many different styles this eclectic artist would approach. Each piece is a unique take on an aesthetic, which speaks to Müren as a devoted student of his craft ahead of his time, and works like these have a fabulous marriage of contemporary and shabby-chic feel today.

Condition:

This mid-century rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. Its pile has been lowered to maintain its construction, which creates the look of a distressed rug, though it is perfectly ready for the floor as is. See less
