More color. Amy Helfand's rugs are always a favorite. This year she presented new workings in wool, with prayer flags featuring prominently as they strut across the backgrounds.

Based in Red Hook, Brooklyn, Amy is creative enough and (still) small enough to still take real risks with her color and design, the result of which is that while other stuff at ICFF evades your notice (ie. mental masking tape), her rugs leap out at you. Interested? Contact her directly.

I love Amy's work and have been a fan for a long time. I have a beautiful print of one of her earlier paper cut works on my wall. But I really want a rug! Or some fabric!

I like the second one but overall the randomness of her rug designs would just look like stains or dirt once put into a space.

These are wonderful. Any idea the price point? I bet they are out of reach to the ordinary person.

I do not understand these rugs.

Love them. The runners are great. I'd also be really interested in the specs - there's no indication of price points on her site. Anyone?

Love, love, love. She never fails to impress. I'm not currently a fan of floor art, but I do love her work. I'd use it as wall art. That first one would make a great headboard...

These rugs are gorgeous....
how can someone (kill joy) not "understand rugs" ??
wacky

jmp, I was tempted to say something about not liking the rugs as they seemed random and messy, but since other people like them I thought I would give them the benefit of the doubt.
Hence, I am assuming there is something about them that I just don't "get".

kinda really nice! I go for very traditional in rugs (as opposed to wall art) but it's nice to see something different. They are beautiful!

I understand exactly what you are saying kiljoywashere. I guess these rugs are like any kind of art that seems to speak to one person and be lost on someone else. I don't identify with any of these....but I'm sure there are lots of people out there who do love the styles and colors.

Forget the rugs, I love the shoes! Anyone got any idea where they might be from?
