As featured in NEPTUNE Papers 10, Rug & Kilim’s custom hand-knotted silk carpet appears within a private Manhattan penthouse designed by renowned French interior architect Jacques Grange.

As featured in Studio USA Today, Rug & Kilim joins a broader conversation on the enduring role of rugs in shaping contemporary interiors, as they are the soul of any room. Through commentary from founder Jahanshah Josh Nazmiyal, the feature examines how handmade rugs function as foundational design elements, anchoring architecture, establishing visual harmony, and bringing warmth and permanence to residential spaces. Accompanied by custom designs from the house’s Scandinavian and French Art Deco collections, the article further reflects Rug & Kilim’s longstanding emphasis on craftsmanship, material innovation, and the relevance of rugs within contemporary living.
As seen in Galerie Magazine, the 2026 Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach features a rare and exceptional curation from the antique rugs in Rug & Kilim’s European Collection as a part of “The Citron Salon” by Pappas Miron Design. Acting as the scheme’s foundation, the rug is an early 20th century Arts and Crafts-era Savonnerie rug from France—a bold choice of maximalist sensibility commended by many in the accolades for Pappas Miron, as well as the inspiration for a custom textile by Sandra James constantine and the citron velvet built-in sofa among several other bespoke pieces in the space.

As seen in Galerie Magazine, a restored turn-of-the-century house on Minnesota’s historic Summit Avenue—designed by Prospect Refuge Studio—features a custom hand-knotted Nepalese rug from the Modern Collection by Rug & Kilim. In the library, the rug’s simple-meets-rich play of a purple ground and red stripes underscores complementary tones in vintage 1950s Italian chairs, an amethyst glass dining table from Design Within Reach, and the owner’s ceramic collection—the latter of which was a foundation of the project’s beginning, as Prospect Refuge Studio’s Victoria Sass shared a passion for studio pottery with her client.

As seen in Veranda, a Georgian-style Hollywood home designed by Peter Dunham & Associates features a custom flatweave from Rug & Kilim’s Scandinavian rug collection. In the kitchen, the rug offers a contemporary reimagining of the minimalist geometric patterns and subtle intricacies of the Swedish Modern aesthetic, which both complements similarly conservative, contemporary furnishings in the room and acts as the quiet-yet-elegant undertone to the collection of bronze Japanese vessels as the “focal point of the kitchen’s dining nook.” Photo courtesy of Victoria Pearson.
As seen in ELLE DECOR, an Upper East Side landmark carriage house once owned by John D. Rockefeller Jr.—designed by ELLE DECOR A-List firm Husband Wife—features several custom rugs by Rug & Kilim in the living room, primary bedroom and a custom storage cabinet floor. These designs represent one of the most luxurious hand-knotted Nepalese qualities in varied blends of wool and all-natural silk, from both the Textural and Art Deco rug collections in Rug & Kilim’s archive. One of the most spacious and prominently featured pieces is the living room rug—inspired by an Austrian Art Deco rug design of subtle cubist influence—which lends both a gentle, natural sheen that plays gorgeously with the light and accents the sense of depth and dimension with even more of a sense of movement, crucial to this space uniting both the common area and adjoined offices.

In the dining room, this flatweave underscores the sitting area in a play of cool light blue and cream tones, with minimalist geometric patterns inspired by the Swedish Modern movement and a heavier, more formidable body than other flatweaves (for resistance to buckling and shifting underfoot). Other bespoke pieces in the room include a double-pedestal dining table with Jadore Quartzite topping and a Rib Vault Light by Talbot & Yoon. The home itself is a rare find among the preserved works of architect Don Erickson (1929-2006), a one-time apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright, who designed the home for photographer Richard Boyer in 1966.

As seen in House Beautiful, a 1901 Tudor revival house in PIttsburgh renovated by Betsy Wentz Interior Design features several bold custom rugs by Rug & Kilim. In the living room, a custom flatweave from the Scandinavian Collection underscores the space with the minimalist geometric patterns in gray and grisaille blue tones, offering a Swedish Modern ground for the space’s “muddy pastels beautifully offset historic details.” In the entryway, another flatweave in the “Nu” flatweave line of the Scandinavian Collection offers a more warm, impressionistic complement to the warm millwork tones and playful rainbow runner nearby—as well as a bubbly, bouclé-like texture that lends its minimalist geometry in teal and cream tones a unique tactile beauty. In the primary bedroom, a custom rug from the Modern Collection underscores the space with a simple, yet luxurious lattice pattern, with rust-tone diamonds on a mauve ground in hand-knotted wool and silk. The gentle, natural sheen of the silk offers a particularly elegant play of the light in the space, crucial to the element in which “a subtle ombre effect visually lifts the ceilings.” Photos courtesy of Max Kim-Bee.

As seen in Incollect Magazine’s Issue 11 of Spring 2025, a Rosemary Beach house in Florida designed by Marshall Watson & Reid Deane Gaines Interiors features a bold custom rug design by Rug & Kilim. This hand-knotted wool and silk rug in the formal gathering space underscores the coastal home with a unique take on a high-and-low texture capturing the look of “eddies of water left behind by a receding tide” in its abstract modernist pattern. The rug was also cut to an irregular shape, with long, oval-like rounded edges on the length to accommodate unique dimensions while still keeping with the themes of flowing water and smooth, tranquil demeanor of the adjoined rooms. Its juxtaposed play of neutral ground tones with bright blues and whites further sets the tone for the space’s positive-negative themes explored through the minimal palette used in such a striking way through other furnishings, and naturally leads the eye to admire the astonishing view of the Gulf of Mexico through a smart sense of movement in tandem with the surrounding furnishings. Other bespoke additions to the space include a 1930s Brno chair designed by Mies van der Rohe, a plexiglas ‘Quark’ coffee table by French artist Emmanuel Babled, a glass vase by Lalique, twin hot-sculpted ‘Triple Obscura’ glass wall sconces by Eidos Glass, and a glass cube sculpture from Jon Kuhn’s Matrix series.

As seen in Table Magazine, a historic Pittsburgh home by Betsy Wentz Interior Design features a custom-resized rug from Rug & Kilim’s Moroccan rug collection. In the foyer, the rug is a hand-knotted wool and silk piece, underscoring the space with light, vibrant hues of red, indigo blue and cream tones in geometric patterns inspired by the Berber primitivist sensibility. This contemporary quality represents a luxurious new approach to Moroccan weaving traditions that still honors the soul of the provenance, such as in its texture—an intricate, almost ribbed texture recapturing the look and feel of Boucherouite rag rugs and their personal, whimsical beauty. This piece was intricately resized by our in-house master weaver and Art Department to accommodate precise dimensions in the space without further renovations to the architecture, much of which remains unchanged from the original landmark building by MacClure and Spahr. The rug is furthermore vital to the family’s love of personal, sometimes striking pieces throughout the home, as well as to BWID’s unique flow of “varying intensities of pattern and color” that make the home such a bold-meets-elegant renovation.

As seen in House Beautiful, a Hamptons beach house by Kemble Interiors features two custom rugs from Rug & Kilim’s Moroccan rug collection and a vintage Kilim from the Kilim & Flat Weave collection. In the living room, the larger Moroccan rug underscores the seating area with geometric patterns inspired by the primitivist Berber style and a play of rust tones and bright whites matching the bespoke hassocks, curtain fabrics, ceramic lamps and other pieces abound. In the parlor, the smaller piece offers similar geometry in a more polychromatic colorway, with especially present cream, indigo and brick tones at play with those of a bespoke bar cart, coffee table, sconces, and custom fabrics in the sofa and chairs. In the entryway, the vintage Kilim offers neutral beige-brown tones with stripes in white and black accents, acting as a vital transition between the colors of the Lee Industries Chairs and a vintage Suzani textile-upholstered bench by Arteriors to the rich wood tones of the stair. Both the living room and parlor rug, in particular, represent an inventive new texture in the collection, which offers various blends of luxurious hand-knotted wool and silk in a modern take on the Boucherite texture of vintage and antique Moroccan tribal rugs.

Made with handwoven reed and camel leather in Mauritania circa 1950-1960, the mat’s resizing was a bold undertaking seldom seen in the craft, and its warm, rich chocolate brown tones particularly complement the colors of the room (such as the same tones in the high-gloss Benjamin Moore hue chosen for the walls). Other notable bespoke furnishings in the space include rattan-inspired paper on the ceiling by Romo, a Persian-style lantern by Vaughan, and palm wall scones from F.S. Henemader.
