Design Collections

ARBOREAL COLLECTION

Each rug found in our Arboreal Collection has the faraway feel of a centuries-old story that has been woven into the piece — a wise secret whispered from a less complicated time or a soon to be lost culture. The Arboreal Collection opens the door to this secret story garden, beckoning us to explore its wild abandon and delicate beauty.

ARTISTS COLLECTION

This collection consists of a melding of media from works of art to the carpet where Odegard has taken the artist’s work off the canvas and reinterpreted it into art for the floor, or collaborations with artists designing the carpets themselves. The collection features Mira Lehr, painter, Paul Mathieu, furniture designer and Michael Somoroff, photographer.

ATMOSPHERIC IMPRESSIONS COLLECTION

BATIK COLLECTION

The designs in the Batik Collection were inspired by traditional batik textiles, a fresh interpretation inspired by techniques and design motifs from North Africa to China.

BOTANICA COLLECTION

Inspired by one of nature’s most exquisite gifts – the flower, each design in Botanica possesses a sense of openness. In this collection botanical details range from blossoms to furled leaves and vines that creep to the carpet’s edge, as well as floral elements treated as cutout shapes and silhouettes. Several designs are tone on tone featuring the horizontal borderless format, a signature look from Odegard.

BYZANTIUM COLLECTION

Odegard designed this collection in conjunction with The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s landmark spring 2004 exhibition, Byzantium: Faith and Power (1261-1557), The inspiration came from sources as varied as illuminated manuscripts, textiles, ceramics, and book covers from the period. Transformed into carpet designs these precious objects and illustrations become classic yet modern rugs.

CULTURAL NARRATIVES COLLECTION

Choosing from the renowned textile collection from New Mexico’s Museum of International Folk Art with pieces as diverse as an American double weave quilt, an Uzbekistani silk ikat coat, and 13th and 20th century Japanese kimonos, a silk altar frontal from Mexico and a Nigerian wall hanging, Odegard created a lively international collection of folk art design carpets.

KYOTO COLLECTION
