Contemporary Flatweave Striped Dark Gray Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet “Stri” N11722 12'8" × 25'3" $31,000

Stri turns a restrained stripe into a quietly architectural surface. Its steel gray field is threaded with whisper-thin vertical lines, creating a tonal rhythm that reads almost like woven light rather than overt pattern. The absence of a border or central medallion keeps the composition open and contemporary, letting the subtle striping do the work.

Rendered in flat-weave wool, the rug has a crisp, low profile and a dry, textural hand that feels both refined and practical. Soft blue-gray nuances flicker across the surface, adding depth to the dark neutral palette without disturbing its calm. The result is a modern kilim with a tailored sensibility, ideal for rooms that call for visual quiet and durable construction. It grounds larger seating areas with texture rather than contrast.

Its name, Stri, comes from the French word for striped, a nod to the finely lined weave and couture-like restraint. It brings an elegant sense of movement to contemporary, Scandinavian, and warm minimalist interiors.

Exclusively curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this rug exemplifies the balance of innovation, artistry, and enduring quality that defines the gallery's approach to contemporary carpet design. The expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection includes pieces ranging from understated modern works to one-of-a-kind statement rugs.

A bespoke interpretation of this design is available upon request.
