Over the past few years Doris Leslie Blau Gallery has periodically invited renowned rug designers, interior designers and architects to design their own custom carpets for our collection using the finest wool, silk and natural fibers. Alberto Pinto, Jed Johnson Associates, Mariette Himes Gomez, Amy Lau, Miles Redd are among the well-known rug designers who have created patterns for our collection. Rug designs have also been created by fashion designers such as Nanette Lepore and Tommy Hilfiger. With our new and designer collections we strive to bring a sophisticated and creative modern eye to rug design through eclectic and abstract patterns, subtle colors and sometimes even a sense of whimsy or humor. Although many of our designer rugs are abstract with a tendency toward solid colors, many of them subtly recall elements of traditional weaving such as in their incorporation of organic forms of branches and flowers of antique Oriental rugs or even by deriving inspiration from works of art in the manner of more modern early 20th century rugs.
