Contemporary Flatweave Slate Gray Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet “Crosscurrent” N13055 12'2" × 14'10" $22,000

Crosscurrent presents a rhythmic Scandinavian geometry, built from alternating blue rectangles, X-shaped crossings, and nested diamond forms that read like a measured architectural grid. The allover composition has no medallion or border; instead, the eye follows a steady sequence of interlocking modules across a slate gray ground, where movement comes from pattern rather than ornament.

Woven in wool as a flatweave, the rug has a smooth, low-profile surface that emphasizes crisp linework and subtle shifts in color. Charcoal and dark brown striping create the background flow, while bands of soft blue, powder blue, and dusty pink add contrast and cadence. The result feels both restrained and animated, with a tactile quality that suits modern interiors.

The name Crosscurrent captures the design’s dual character: intersecting cross motifs and diamond shapes set against wave-like stripes that suggest constant motion. With its contemporary tribal-modern presence and clean geometric order, this modern flatweave rug brings structure, texture, and visual energy to a living room, dining room, or open-plan setting.

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.
