On the Design:

Beige-brown tones underscore colorful geometric patterns arranged in rows of stripes made of diamond shapes with playful pastel tones against a rich background The composition demonstrates Müren's signature orchestration of pastel geometrics against rich earth tones—where his masterful understanding of color theory transforms classical patterns. Exactly the kind of subtle, brilliant technique that distinguishes Müren’s works, yet they still enjoy such a livable and approachable air of welcome as this piece does; full of joyful color and life. It’s a light and playful piece with the whimsy of a Zeki Müren rug, but also with the comfortable and livable undertone that his works also embody, so thoughtful in their approach to the postmodernist appeal of the time and collectible in his works curated 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. less
