apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

It's a new oriental rug in a fairly traditional design. If it's not an original hand-made piece, it's a copy meant to look like one. You can find something similar at ABC Carpets:

Lainie of the Lovely (legs &) Laboutins posted a comment on the original post about that semi-controversial Room & Board "customer profile" catalog, so maybe she's still an avid reader and ready to answer directly!

She was sweet and gracious if memory serves, so I'm sure if she still reads AT, she'll happily reveal her rug's origins.

Ooops, misspelled her name and those of her shoes, but here's the original link where she commented:

I remember seeing (and liking) the rug in the Room and Board story and then saw it for sale in the Crate and Barrel catalogue. I had the two catalogues open side by side and sure enough, same rug. I don't remember the name though, and can't seem to find it on the C&B web site at the moment....

It's the Asimi Rug from CB.

Its in my living room (craigslist score!) and I love it. The colors are a bit deeper/darker than in the RB picture...must be my monitor.
