66degrees.com has some of the most exclusive and creative
collections of new floor coverings we’ve come across to date!
Collection lines such as “Bargello” by Barbara Barran, and “Bliss”
by Sigal and Vidal Sasson, merge the traditional centuries old artisan
craftsmanship of hand knotting Oriental Rugs with a new twist on old world aesthetics. The combination of both age-old weaving
technique with highly stylized design execution yield nothing short of cutting
edge art for the floor. Higher quality
fibers used in weaving further reiterate the timeless elegance of contemporary
abstract design. Uniqueness is unparalleled in the industry, and limited
production only confirms the level of these collections.
Perhaps in contrast to hand knotting techniques employed by the
previously mentioned is the revitalization in both color and construction. Collection “Caaw,” by designers Patricia Baun and Michael Staniszkis,
implements the use of red and black.
While power colors not new to rugs, what is more unusual is the way in
which the carpet is created. Each rug is
individually hand painted on canvas: signature floor cloths exclusive to
66degrees.com.
Finally, and one of our personal favorites here at Rug Rag, is
“Archipelago,” by Laure Kasiers. This is
a circular rug using a main gyrating spiral construction of fabric serving as
water which is augmented by the artist’s creation of three dimensional, hand
fabricated islands. Each island is
dome-shaped, some of which are also removable to double as cushions. Earth toned tierra is complimented by the
implied lapping “waves” as created by the spiraling multi-colored fabric surrounding
each island.
Our conclusion: Step
out of the “dry” and mundane!
66degrees.com has a great collection of premium, exclusive, modern day
art-level rugs. These are not anywhere
near commercially available rugs! For
those looking for the unique conversational pieces which truly redefine floor
coverings, look no further, as these collections are only available through
66degrees.com.
