“Homage To The Square After Josef Albers” Modern Solid Light Gray Hand-Knotted Silk Rug N12965 10'0" × 15'0" $20,000

Titled Homage to the Square After Josef Albers, this hand-knotted silk rug turns a near-white palette into a study in light, proportion, and restraint. Its open, solid composition feels architectural rather than decorative, with the slightest tonal variation giving the field a measured sense of depth. The effect is serene, modern, and distinctly refined.

From across the room, the surface reads as soft light gray and ivory; up close, the silk reveals a subtle play of sheen, direction, and shadow that changes with every step. A faint perimeter definition and whisper of edge tonal shift keep the design from feeling flat, while the low, dense pile lends a smooth, almost liquid hand.

Elegant in its simplicity, this modern silk rug works beautifully in contemporary, minimalist, and gallery-like interiors where calm structure is essential. Hand-knotted construction gives the piece both precision and tactility, making it an understated foundation for rooms that favor clean lines, sculptural furniture, and quiet luxury.

Part of the curated collection at Doris Leslie Blau, this rug reflects the gallery's dedication to pairing traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design vision. DLB offers an expansive selection of modern rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making exceptional carpet art accessible to designers and collectors alike.

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