Rug 2931H STD, yellow-brown, 200×300

A design of ribbons

2931H STD is a graphic abstract. Wide ribbons the colour of old gold bend into loops and figure-eights, cross each other and run off the edge. On the curves they brighten almost to lemon, in the folds they darken to honey, and the dark brown ground shows between them. There is no border; the pattern is cut by the edge of the rug like a detail of a larger painting.

Where it looks best

The contrast of gold and chocolate is strong, so the rug needs a calm setting. In the room photo it lies on a pale concrete floor under a glass table next to a white corner sofa, where it becomes the main accent. It also suits dark walnut furniture and brass details.

Material and care

The pile is polypropylene. It does not absorb moisture, cleans easily and is not afraid of sunlight, which matters for a saturated yellow. Vacuum away dust; blot spills and wipe with a damp cloth.

Size

200×300 cm is enough for the whole seating area to stand on the rug: a sofa, a pair of armchairs and a table. In a dining area it fits under a table for six.

Another Turkish polypropylene rug is 290K STD with red flowers. Other abstract designs are in modern rugs.
