Where's my paper bag, I need to start hyperventilating! Those rugs are AMAZING. I love Art Nouveau but it's such a difficult style to integrate into a modern home - which is a shame because it captures that sense of newness, of the beauty in nature, that we're discovering all over again.

Some of these rugs are so crisp and graphic that I think they could go really well with that whole white-on-white look we're seeing everywhere.

Their site isn't at all clear about how to obtain a rug. I'd use their contact form (from a rug page, use the Anfrage link) and just ask. If they don't want to deal with non-German-speakers, they can ignore you, and you've wasted only about 30 seconds of anyone's time.
