Designer Mike Farrell
Surya, a leading manufacturer of area rugs and home accessories, announced its latest partnership and licensing agreement with designer Mike Farrell.
Farrell is known for his innovative, imagination-driven designs whose playfulness and humor bring out the child within. Farrell, who grew up Mormon, visited Argentina at a young age for a mission trip where he was immediately captivated by the Bohemian style and culture of the country. It is this same culture and style that drives many of his designs today.
Farrell’s design career journey began in New York City in 1991 while working with big names in textile and décor. During this time Farrell recognized a need in the market for free thinking designers and was determined to make a change in the industry.
“We are more than excited to bring Mike Farrell on as an addition to our growing list of world-class designers,” said Satya Tiwari, president of Surya. “Farrell’s imagination and innovation is exactly what we are looking for as we move the company into the future and position ourselves as trend spotters on the leading edge of the industry.”
Farrell is set to produce a line of area rugs for Surya, with edgy, young, fresh designs and colors. In the past, Farrell’s designs have included “graffiti” and “faces” patterns that merge his innovation and unusual way of thinking about design.
“Every installation I have done, and every line and collection I have designed comes from my heart, which is young and full of hope and adventures of the imagination,” said Farrell. “Surya’s first line of rugs by me will be very different and bring out the child within the adult, that place we must go to be creative and individual.”
