A Designer's Visions, Remade: Is It Carpet, or Is It Real? Edward Fields, who was known as the bespoke carpet designer to stars like Princess Grace of Monaco and Mary Tyler Moore from the 1950s to the 1970s, considered his rugs art for the floor. Although the late designer’s company was purchased by Tai Ping carpets two years ago, it remains true to his vision. To coincide with the opening of a new showroom in Manhattan, the company is reissuing 60 original rugs; the Deep ($8,960), left, an 8-by-10-foot, hand-dyed wool carpet with varying pile heights, was designed in the 1980s. Prices for the made-to-order, hand-knotted rugs start at about $85 per square foot; to the trade from Edward Fields, 150 East 58th Street (Lexington Avenue), (212) 310-0400.

woolsofnewzealand reddot LASA is one of the winner of the "red dot award: product design 2006". The soft carpet dream is made from a felted merino yarn. This new quality captivates with its cosy surface. For the first time an especially thick core yarn has been produced from the finest New Zealand merino wool. By using cutting-edge techniques the yarn has a very clear-cut surface which closes off the dark yarn core from the colourful sheath. The ground of the carpet is a dense pile from fine pure new wool. The ground and the surface are matching tone on tone. The brilliant colours range from apple-green over crimson-red through to orange.]]> lasa long pile carpet JackCalvin 2007-10-10T05:44:22-05:00 flooring
