Ann Sacks Designer Collection Tiles

July 28, 2011 By creatingyourspace 2 Comments

Ann Sacks tiles are industry favorites for their design and quality.  Now Ann Sacks has paired up with six influential designers to create the Designer Collections.  Each of the designers brings a unique eye and design sense to the world of tile.

Angela Adams

Angela Adams is known for her distinctive designs and sense of color as a textile, fabric and rug designer. Adams has three tile collections: Forms, Graphics and Concrete, focusing on texture, color and pattern, and concrete floor tiles respectively.

Barbara Barry

Barbara Barry finds beauty in details. Known for her sophisticated and classic design sense, she has designed furnishings and home décor as well as tile. She designed six tile collections, including diamond shaped tiles, grooved and fluted stripes and vintage inspired Star Burst and Frame.

Clodagh

Clodagh is Interior Design Hall of Fame inductee and was chosen as one of Design’s Top 100 Interior Designers in America. She has designed six tile collections.  They are Stripes, Quill, Concrete, Puzzle, Shield and Sticks.

Laura Kirar

Laura Kirar approaches design with the eye of an artist. With the largest collection, Kirar has sixteen patterns in her Impressions collection that is characterized by hand-drawn patterns.

Michael S. Smith

Inspired to design tiles he hasn’t found anywhere else, Michael S. Smith brings his traditional meets modern sensibility to his collections.  His two ceramic tile collections for Ann Saks are Classic and Labyrinth, intricate knot-patterned tiles.

Robert Kuo

Robert Kuo’s two collections include Cloisonné and a carved stone collection using Chinese carving techniques once used on temples. The Cloisonné collection recalls the metal and enamel work of its name known for mixing ancient crafts with modern design.

Ann Sacks Designer Collections can be found at annsacks.com.

Madeline Weinrib Rugs

July 21, 2011 By creatingyourspace Leave a Comment

As the granddaughter of the founder of ABC Carpet & Home, Max Weinrib, Madeline Weinrib continues the family tradition of high quality, beautiful rugs. Weinrib debuted her first carpet collection in 1998 after finding a gap in the contemporary rug market.  As a painter and designer, her rugs are inspired by her global travels and traditional patterns that she reinterprets. Known for opulent patterns and bold colors, the collection is artisan crafted in a conscientious way. Weinrib is a trustee of Project Mala, a non-profit organization committed to eradicating child labor in the carpet industry.

There are nine design groups within the Weinrib rug collection. Weinrib rugs are available at ABC Carpet & Home and select retailers around the country.

Tibetan, Metallics, and Cottons consist of rugs with Weinrib’s signature patterns and bold color ways. Graphic, lattice, paisley and floral patterns abound in a myriad of color combinations. Colors range from neutral beige and grey, to soft lilacs to strong reds, pinks and deep blues.

Tibetan Stripes, Cotton Stripes, and Wool Flatweaves combine geometric stripes and Weinrib’s bold color sensibilities. The black and white striped rug has been seen in numerous shelter magazines and blogs.

Denims

Geometric and abstract stripe patterns in deep indigo hues recall the quilts of Gees Bend.

Climbers & Ramblers

In earth tones with natural elements, the Climbers & Ramblers is inspired by nature.

Tulus

Tulus is a solid color shag rug collection for Ralph Pucci. Available in seven colors, these rugs measure 6′ x 9′.
