Dubbed “Legrain” in homage to the inspirational work of French designer Pierre Legrain, this Art Deco rug joins the latest additions to the New & Modern collection by Isabelline; remarkable among the classic inspirations with modern appeal akin to this work of art. Hand-knotted with a unique blend of wool and silk, the natural sheen of the latter brings out the richness of the texture in the variant beige-brown, cream, silvery, green, and gold colorway hues throughout the juxtaposed geometry—a dimensionally engaging, iconic artisan look encapsulation the spirit of French Deco rug patterns with a versatile appeal. Handmade in one of our most reputed long-standing partnerss looms in Nepal. Legrain features additional sizes and colorway variations in stock, with further custom capabilities available upon inquiry. About the Collection: Since establishing our trade-only showroom in New York over 20 years ago, the interest in modern and contemporary flooring has been equal parts motivation and inspiration for Josh, who has long invested efforts innovating material and pioneering the designs we add to this aspect of our collections. To that, Josh’s passion for the history of design has inspired our growing geometric, abstract, and neo-traditional designs with exciting additions, particularly our Homage and Mid Century collections standing as pillars of the collections. The Homage collection from our Classic Style Sub collection enjoys inspiration from Josh’s love of European rug sensibilities with a new take on distressed Shabby Elegance. The Mid Century collection, too, draws influence from icons of the 1950s in its growing selection of patterns, both the effort of refining large-scale graph, texture, and color over three years and collaborating with classic and current designers who’ve embraced the style as a new face of modern.
