From a field of felt flowers to a simulated cross-section of a tree, this curation of innovative modern rugs stretches the imagination beyond its usual boundaries. These designers bring the outdoors in, create optical illusions and commit celebrities to carpet for posterity; their creativity knows no bounds. In materials spanning the continuum from light to luxe, these wool, silk and felt creations evoke a broad spectrum of sensations, but all of them are just a little beyond what’s expected of the everyday floor covering; each one is memorable for its own envelope-pushing boldness and unique visual punch.
