Vintage Andean Frazada Kilim and the Three Thousand Years of Living Memory Held in Its Weave
The most sophisticated rooms in America are being furnished, increasingly, with an object its makers never intended to sell. The Andean frazada, a handwoven kilim produced for centuries in the high villages of Peru and Bolivia for one reason only, to survive the cold, has become one of the most quietly coveted textiles in contemporary design. Collectors who could specify anything are choosing these. The reason has nothing to do with trend, and everything to do with what a frazada actually is. To understand a frazada, you must first understand the altitude. Above four thousand meters in the Andes, higher than any peak in the contiguous United States, in air so thin that newcomers move slowly and sleep poorly for days, the cold is not a season. It is a constant. It arrives every night, regardless of the calendar, and it has arrived every night for as long as people have lived in these mountains. The frazada was the answer to that cold: a thick, dense, hand-woven wool blanket, made not for sale, not for export, not for the floors of distant apartments, but for survival. For warmth. For the bed of a family that would not otherwise make it through the dark.

How the World’s Most Serious Art Spaces Are Rewriting the Rules of the Floor and the Contemporary Home
There is a room at Hauser & Wirth Somerset; the gallery that occupies a converted farmhouse in the English countryside, where Pipilotti Rist installations have shared walls with Phyllida Barlow sculptures and where the building itself feels like an argument against the idea that serious art requires a white cube to be taken seriously, where a single large antique textile lies on the stone floor beneath work of radical contemporary ambition. It does not announce itself. It simply holds the room together with the authority of an object that has been doing exactly this, in exactly this way, for several centuries longer than the art above it has existed. The artists whose work hangs on those walls have spent their careers thinking about surface, material, and the relationship between an object and the space it occupies. The carpet understood all of this before any of them picked up a brush.

A Rug & Kilim Perspective on Boutique Hospitality, Hotels, and the Art of Living Well
ICONIC... The celebrity duo Rihanna and A$AP Rocky behind some of fashion and music's most recognized moments open up to W magazine with a backdrop to die for. Sitting in one of the luxury suites at the momentous Mercer Hotel in SoHo NYC is an antique Persian rug by the Rug & Kilim Collection. There are interiors that impress, and there are interiors that endure. The latter; quietly commanding, intellectually composed, are rarely the result of singular gestures. It is intellectual, atmospheric, and deeply material. From the restrained grandeur of Mayfair to the cinematic restraint of Avenue Montaigne, from the private villas of Lake Como to the upper floors of Central Park South, and from Claridge’s, to the villas of Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, or in the rarefied interiors of Aman Tokyo; spaces where luxury is not declared, but resolved.

The Essential Guide to Scandinavian Rugs for Contemporary Living
The moment a truly exceptional Scandinavian rug enters an open-concept space, something remarkable happens—the vast emptiness transforms into a whole. These textiles aren't merely decorative afterthoughts; they possess power to orchestrate how we experience architecture. The true Scandinavian rug doesn't announce itself—it whispers. Yet in that whisper lies a design language as complex and nuanced as any Rothko canvas. The Scandinavian approach to rug-making stands apart in its sublime balance of restraint and expression. While Persian carpets might declare their presence with elaborate narratives and Moroccan rugs impress with exuberant patterns, the Swedish textile speaks through understated authority—a visual whisper that somehow manages to command the entire room.

Abaca Rugs: The Sustainable Design Choice For High-End Interiors in 2025
The future of luxury is not about ostentation; it's about the consciousness behind our choices. Abaca, derived from the Musa textilis plant native to the Philippines, represents a masterclass in sustainable materiality. These rugs, with their distinctive natural sheen and remarkable durability, have captured the attention of leading designers who are reimagining modern interiors through an ecological lens. Each fiber must be hand-stripped, dried, and treated before the intricate weaving process can begin. The process involves traditional techniques passed down through generations of Filipino artisans, resulting in rugs that can last decades.

A Brief Look at Outdoor Scandinavian Rugs: Custom Swedish Rugs and Flatweaves for Exterior Design
Above, a Palm Beach patio by Kemble Interiors incorporates a custom flatweave from our Scandinavian Outdoor rug collection. This piece was a particularly exciting oversized custom rug, both reveling in the most chic shades of green that seem to have underscored the last two years in design but also playing with pattern and color keeping everything around it in mind. This piece is far from an obsequious rug, but it’s still as comfortable as it is present — a feat of weaving that figuratively and literally pulls every element of the space together and exemplifies what a rug can do for any space.
