Karastan Area Rug, Studio by Karastan Carmel Sonado Brown 9' 6" x 12' 11"

As elegant as it is exotic, this design evokes imagery of a sun swept African safari. In fact, this rug draws its inspiration from the most important art movements of the 20th-century. Both classically beautiful and decidedly modern, hints of 1910's Vienna Secession, 1930's Art Deco and 1950's Abstract Expressionism can be found in this rug's wild swirling lines of black and off-white. Meticulously hand-tufted and hand-carved of pure wool.

Model your kitchen table after this vibrant still life. Wine bottles and fresh fruit on a fiery red mat invigorate contemporary decor. A simple black frame and white mat add a polished finish.

At once rustic and chic, Nourison's Brick Fantasy rug is a stepping stone to great contemporary style in any home. Hand-hooked of high-density fibers, the rug features a cobblestone-inspired pattern in tonal brick shades, lending an earthy, elemental feel to any space.
