Contemporary Abstract Rift Dark Gray And Charcoal Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet noir “Noir Rift” N12208 13'10" × 19'2" $39,000

Noir Rift turns a full-field abstract geometry into a bold interplay of ecru-gray and black, where jagged forms seem to slice through the pale ground with architectural precision. With no border or medallion to interrupt the composition, the design reads like shifting cut-paper silhouettes, delivering movement, tension, and a distinctly modern presence.

Hand-knotted in wool, the rug has a low, dense pile that keeps the edges crisp while lending the surface a subtle, tactile grain. The softly variegated weave adds depth to the charcoal-black passages and softens the light ground, giving the carpet a dry, textural richness that feels refined rather than heavy.

The name Noir Rift captures the visual break between dark and light: a dramatic seam of shadow cutting across the field and defining the rug’s character. Well suited to contemporary interiors, from minimalist apartments to brutalist-inspired settings, it brings graphic clarity to clean-lined furniture, open-plan rooms, and spaces that benefit from a strong, architectural focal point.

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.
