A soft grey background contrasts a slightly warmer saffron-cream silk design that reads as an abstract motif that reveals itself differently form every angle. RIGHT Topiary TK Jade (70% wool/ 30% silk) speaks to the iconic Tree of Life motif, but in a modern revision that uses the large scale element as a repeat motif. A bold scale in jade makes its presence known but harkens back to more overt carpets of the past that have a classic style that likes to be noticed. LOWER RIGHT Irezumi PW Blue Mantis (100% wool) is a pattern that has enjoyed increasing popularity for its lively textile-inspir ed pattern. Tamarian’s patented “Phoenix Weave” quality not only lends texture but also varies the hues of the dyes which greatly expands the options for design around the rug. The “Blue Mantis” palette pairs the popular cool grey and slate blue with warmer cream-parchment. All three designs are available in standard rug sizes through over size 13x18 and limitless custom options. TAMARIAN ATLANTA SHOWROOM #6-E18

For Manhattan Designer Carl D’Aquino
Handcrafting Custom Rugs Is A Passion
Concurrent with today’s trend away from all things tra- ditional, interior designer and long-time decorative rug afi- cionado Carl D’Aquino has made great strides in exploring new avenues in the world of contemporary weavings. While these new carpets are in sync with the firm’s streamlined interiors—touted for their innovative modernist sensibility and distinctive flair for the eclectic—they are also timeless handcrafted works of art. Together with his partner architect and interior designer Francine Monaco, Mr. D’Aquino has lately immersed himself in creating rugs tailored to each specific project more intensely than in years past when antique rugs played a vital role in their work. “We have always loved unique rugs and textiles,” states the Manhattan-based interior designer whose firm D’Aquino Monaco Inc. boasts more than 200 residential and commer- cial projects worldwide. “We have a passion for designing rugs that is equal to our passion for antique pieces.” “We are a versatile architectural and interior design firm and have always worked in different stylistic realms,” continues Mr. D’Aquino, named one of the “Top 100
