Kelly Wearstler's new collection for The Rug Company, titled Crescendo, features six designs that creatively translate music into textiles. Wearstler, influenced by her eclectic music taste and personal listening experiences, has crafted rugs that embody dynamic sound characteristics, such as chorus patterns and reverb-like textures. Each piece, meticulously handwoven in Nepal using natural materials like wool and silk, reflects her artistic vision, blending graphic sensibility with an enchanting, mystical quality. This collection highlights Wearstler's ongoing pursuit of surprising her audience through innovative design.
In Wearstler's world, there's always a soundtrack. She makes a playlist for every city she regularly visits; her sons are in a band; and tunes are always on at her Los Angeles studio.
Spanning six new designs, Wearstler's 10th line for The Rug Company translates sound into textile form. Consider Arwen's alternating high and low piles reverb, Runa's repetitive gestures a chorus, and Elowen's linear motif sheet music.
Like a musician composing the perfect bridge, Wearstler explains, 'I'm always trying to surprise my audience.'
Meticulously handwoven in Nepal from wool, silk, nettle, and linen, the floor coverings blend Wearstler's signature graphic sensibility with a vaguely mystical vibe, evident in product names such as Crux or Spire.
