ICFF Highlights-Indi B Rugs

Indi B Rugs grabbed attention at the ICFF (a Candyland; no way!) for their inventive floor coverings. I did fall for some of their stunning decorative rugs. After working for several years, as Lead Designer, Architect and Project Director for some well know international interior design firms, Beatrice Girelli decided the time was right to strike out on her own and founded Indi B that to unique home furnishings.

It seems with more than 600 exhibitors from every corner of the globe, texture was one of the theme at ICFF. So was woodcant forget Morimotos pendant lamps that were remarkable. Put on show were Girelli's IndiB multi-level cut and loop modern area rugs in wool, viscose and silk with color-saturated images of gingko leaves and branches.

My faves include the silver, the deck red and the branches.b. The Silver Rug I like for its individuality. The pattern is bold enough to fit into a variety of drawing and bedroom spaces, yet contemporary and soothing in its own way. Hand-tufted with New Zealand wool with viscose and silk accents, the cut and loop bestows the rug with a depth and rich quality. The rugs claim to be child labor free, in line with the UN Child Labor Law Convention.

The Deck Designer Rug is unusual. The contrasts stand out. It has a feverish contemporary touch that looks addictive. I learnt that the rugs are soft, durable and easy to clean with warm water and soap! Uses cent percent New Zealand Wool, viscose and silk accents, sizes are freely customizable and colors can be opted for at added price.

The Branches Rug seems to draw inspiration from gingko leaves and branches. The hand-tufted rug again uses cuts and loops to add dept and the result is a great rug design. The backing uses latex with cotton tape at edges.
