Runners provide mesmerizing designs and cushion for the feet in places where no other rug types could be applied, like stairs, long and narrow corridors or transitional rooms. While creating our modern runners, at DLB we take into account their important mission and try to brace them for years of flawless service in difficult conditions. This is why we rely on traditional production methods only.

The contemporary silk runner before your eyes was meticulously hand-knotted of the finest silk in accordance with centuries-old techniques by a skilled artisan. It resulted in a soft and luminous pile that will constitute sheer pleasure for the senses. Moreover, such careful execution ensured the modern rug’s firm and dependable structure. If properly maintained, the piece will serve its owners for generations bearing no signs of wear.

This remarkable quality is followed by an equally remarkable design. The silk rug was modeled on the works of Eskayel – a group of young designers who above all cherish inspirations coming from nature and capture it in an abstract form. The splashes of chestnut brown against the golden beige background exude a warm and joyful vibe. Elegant and versatile, this contemporary silk rug will easily match any kind of décor, from classic to state-of-the-art.

Doris Leslie Blau carries an exceptional collection of original modern rugs in many styles and materials. Contemporary hand-made rugs are a bridge throughout history, they are the fruit of the constant evolution of the weaving craft that has accompanied men since the dawn of civilization.
