Cutting Corners

Sight, touch and sound: Creative Matters drew on each to create Prism – part of its Sonance collection, which brings together acoustic-inspired visuals in luxurious hand-knotted wool and silk. $135 sq.ft., at Creative Matters.

In Conversation

Gan’s Zoe Kubb rug, by Ukranian industrial and interior designer Daria Zinovatnaya, establishes a dialogue between two 20th-century movements, Bauhaus and Russian suprematism, to create a thoroughly modern hand-knotted piece with playful geometries and expressive colours. From $7250, at Quasi Modo Modern Home.

A Bit of Everything

Where to start? The interspersed patterns? The hot and cold colour palette? The overlapping line work? The lush silk tufting? Our suggestion: Just take in the gorgeous cacophony that is Roche Bobois’s Yumi rug all at once. From $5270, at Roche Bobois.

Groovy

Design Within Reach’s aptly named Wavy Rug contains a rainbow’s worth of colours, varying pile heights and an acid-trip form that will enliven any space. From $2250, at Design Within Reach.

Overcast

Swedish Kasthall’s Poppy Cloud sees plush bouclé shaped into a lively inter- play of cloud-like curves, while the palette of purple, pale blue and gold recall calm skies. From $5110, at Poliform.
