New from Fabrica...

003 Harlow

This carpet was inspired by the elegant Art Deco era, a time in American history when elegance prevailed.  Think of the beautiful Chrysler building in New York with its soft contemporary lines...this style of contemporary pattern features soft sweeping curves, which is why we named it after one of the great poster ladies of that era, the incomparable Jean Harlow.  Think of feathered fans and sweeping staircases...a truly romantic era that is reflected in many of today's furniture trends and especially adaptable to contemporary retro design

005 Zumba

Zumba derives its inspiration from abstract art...with a bit of a tribal edge.  the soul of its character is influenced by a simple diamond that's gone slightly wild.  South American geometric elements also add to its unique character and versatility.  From a visual standpoint, this pattern has an exotic rhythmic nature...but while its design is somewhat fun, it also has a serious artistic character...that allows adapting to a variety of design applications
