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.

The deco apartments are beautiful as well.

Do you know how one could go about purchasing one? the website didnt seem to have an english option, so i'm not sure. I must have one of these!!!!

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.
