Contemporary Abstract Geometric Light Beige With Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Rug “Stratum” N11228 4'10" × 7'6" $5,000

Stratum distills abstract geometry into a soft, layered field of light beige and warm taupe. Rather than a border or medallion, the hand-knotted wool surface is organized by broken rectilinear marks and striated passages that resemble sedimentary layers, giving the rug a calm architectural presence and a quietly modern sense of order.

The low-contrast palette keeps the pattern understated, while subtle tonal shifts and a dense, tactile pile add depth as the light moves across it. Pale stone, sand, and grey nuances emerge gradually, so the rug feels more textural than graphic—ideal when a contemporary wool rug needs to soften hard lines without dominating the room.

Its name is especially apt: Stratum evokes the layered motif and grounded elegance of geological strata, translated into a refined abstract geometric design. In living rooms, studies, or bedrooms, this modern rug brings warmth, structure, and restraint, making it a versatile foundation for pared-back interiors.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this contemporary rug showcases the fusion of heritage techniques and modern aesthetics that defines the gallery's celebrated design philosophy. With a broad spectrum of styles and price points, DLB makes fine carpet art attainable for both seasoned collectors and first-time buyers.

This design is available as a bespoke rug in custom sizes and colors.
