Modern / Contemporary

At it's essence, modern design is about distillation. For James Tufenkian, it is about getting to the core of feeling, thought, vision or dream, and then expressing it in the most clean, simple and sensual way possible. He does this with color, shape and space to create visual and textural effects that evoke an emotional response. Within the Tufenkian Contemporary area rugs collection are several distinct avant-garde themes including handsome menswear patterns, playful abstracts and intriguing studies of the square. These designs transcend historical and nationalistic borders to engage every imagination. That is why they are so well-suited for a multitude of furniture, room and home styles. Renewed interest in Mid Century Modern rug design has created a resurgence of interest in this category. Browse our contemporary and modern area rugs and remember the designs might hail from the 80's, 90's, or early 2000's, but we still make the rugs in the handmade fashion of thousands of years ago, giving a new vibe to an old and respectable art form.
