Tappeto Dipinto in Lana Design Italiano by Deanna Comellini In Stock 205x295 cm
Located in Bologna, IT
Leggerezza e calore sono il segno dominante di questa collezione di tappeti in lana che uniscono la tecnologia e il più alto artigianato italiano. Completamente dipinti a mano su entrambi i lati, uniscono la durevolezza delle lane all’unicità delle colorazioni, che rendono ogni elemento un pezzo unico e irripetibile. "Luoghi" è una collezione di tappeti lievi che si ispirano alle superfici consumate dal tempo, portando un elemento di memoria nei progetti d’interni più sofisticati. Le cuciture manuali e la modularità dei singoli elementi aiutano il progettista a dare forma a questi dipinti tessili, che uniscono eleganza e praticità e portano atmosfere uniche negli ambienti che li accolgono. Morbidi e resistenti, questi tappeti personalizzabili anche su grandi dimensioni sono ideali per offrire protezione e sollievo dalle pavimentazioni “dure” in pietra, cemento e laterizio. Abbinati ad uno speciale materassino antiscivolo che ne aumenta il comfort e la piacevolezza al tatto, trovano l’abbinamento ideale nelle zone notte e living di grandi e piccole dimensioni.

Antique, New and Vintage Area Rugs and Carpets for Your Home

Antique, new and vintage area rugs and carpets are a simple way to add warmth and style to any space. Area rugs can be seasonal or changed with other decorative objects to refresh an interior. Carpet piles materials can vary from wool and cotton to silk and synthetic fibers, and the purpose of a floor covering can range from reducing noise to offering a place to sit.

Vintage rugs can ground a space, and arranging furniture around them creates a measured focal point. Key furniture pieces can be placed on the rug or just the legs, such as with furniture like coffee tables in your living room.

So, how can you tell if a rug is high quality or vintage?

The three main components that determine the quality of a piece are the dyes, the wool and the number of knots per square inch. Ultimately, however, if you want to be sure the rug you’re buying is truly an antique, it is best to consult an expert.

If you want a creative design that stands out, area rugs or carpets can provide layers of color. Rugs and carpets reflect a global heritage of textiles and weaving, such as ornately patterned Persian and Indian designs. Visually striking Chinese rugs can add a delicate touch of color, while modern rugs make a statement with their geometric patterns.

Turkish rugs, with their ruby reds and misted blues, their entwined botanical designs and rhythmic geometries, are as beloved today as they were in the 13th century. The West’s current infatuation with Moroccan and North African tribal rugs stretches to the mid-20th century, when modern furniture designers embraced bold geometric patterns and even bolder palettes as counterpoints to form-follows-function interiors. Alvar Aalto, Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier were among the designers who used these rustic, natural rugs to offset austere interiors.

If you properly maintain your antique and vintage rugs, they will last for many years. When you’re thinking about how to clean a rug, it is important to keep in mind that your vacuum is not too harsh for your favorite floor covering. Frequent vacuuming is in fact necessary to remove everyday dirt that otherwise wears down the pile. Omri Schwartz of Nazmiyal does, however, stipulate that “it’s best to use an ordinary suction vacuum without bristles, as the bristles can damage the rug’s pile.” Rotating the carpet every couple of years is also recommended — it ensures that the rug gets even foot traffic.

On 1stDibs, find a vintage rug or carpet to add a layer of beauty and function to your room.
