New World is the most dramatic of the Carini Water World series by Joseph Carini. A dark mysterious background is contrasted by bursts of powerful color. A luxurious and sophisticated carpet, this design is versatile for many different styles and tastes. The abstract organic oceanic patterns are made up of orange, yellow, red, blue, and green. The background is a very deep blue, that tricks the eye to appear nearly black. This area rug brings an airy sense of space and organic movement to a living room, bedroom, or any space.
Shown here in an unusual custom size of 8' x 20', this design can be customized to any size, shape or color. Playing with themes of how energy breaks up and comes back together again, the inspiration of bubbles floating up to the surface led Carini to this design concept. In the Water World Series, coral reefs, bubbles underwater, ripples on the ocean floor were the inspiration, evolving out of a deep fascination with the color and forms of nature under the sea. The result is a series of contemporary, abstract designs that are timeless and versatile for any sophisticated interior.
Usually with matte wool details with a silk background, Carini customizes this carpet in many different materials and combinations of materials. New World displays a silky sheen background in silver with design elements in bronze, grey and white shades that create depth. This carpet is available in additional and custom colorways and sizes. Also available in silk, wool, mohair, and wild nettle. Reach out for customization.
