Let's start with something extraordinary: the carpet with crystals. Designer Deborah Moss made Night Sky for Swiss company Ruckstuhl, depicting glimmering of the stars in a dark night. This round carpet has beautiful colour gradients on the hand-painted basis which will take you into dreaming in a second. Stitched-on crystals create a vibrant contrast to the simplicity of the base material, lending an air of luxury to this carpet. The best place for Night Sky is small, intimate room.
Belgians from Limited Edition took another approach: they love leather. Woven using traditional methods, the smooth leather strips overlap artistically, giving your feet the luxury treatment. Since it is made of leather, this carpet is stain-resistant, and it comes in a rich brown color but you can also get it in a modern metallic finish if you love modern glamour. The carpet comes in squares measuring 55 by 55 centimetres and you can add squares to get a custom size that suits your room or office.
