Abstract Modern Hand-Knotted Silk & Wool Rug In Warm Tan And Light Beige “Atacama” N12978 12'7" × 12'10" $36,000

Atacama translates the fractured geometry of a salt flat into a calm abstract modern rug, where pixel-like blocks drift across a warm tan ground in light beige and ivory. Its square format reinforces the architectural feeling, giving the composition a measured, contemporary presence.

The design reads as an allover field rather than a framed motif, with no border or medallion—only soft tonal variation and broken, abrash-like movement across the surface. Hand-knotted in silk and wool, it balances matte depth with a subtle sheen, so the lighter passages catch the light without disturbing the rug’s restrained palette.

Named for the Atacama Desert, the piece echoes cracked earth and sun-bleached sand, lending it an organic-modern character that feels quietly grounded. It is an especially strong choice for contemporary living rooms, serene dining areas, and minimalist interiors that need a neutral foundation with texture, dimension, and visual interest.

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.

Available for custom production in any size and color palette.
