Mat the Basics Introduces New Collection

Furniture World Magazine

Mat the Basics recently unveiled its new collection of handmade carpets. Combining contemporary design with traditional techniques, the stylish rugs are available at select stores across the country. In a field dominated by tradition, Mat the Basics injects a dose of high style and modernity. The company pioneers a new type of carpet - refined, handmade rugs that combine innovative design with a dedication to the highest standards of craftsmanship. Inspired from Scandinavian and European countries, the rugs are made with the best materials available and constructed entirely by hand by skilled weavers using hand tufting, hand weaving, and hand knotting methods. Often several techniques are blended together to create a unique rug. The new collection has over 76 carpets including, “Poppy“, a hand tufted carpet with a sophisticated poppy design; “Barcelona”, a hand tufted carpet with an expressive pattern made with a mix of techniques; and the playful “Milan”, a hand tufted carpet in a colorful flower pattern. “Blending ideas, cultures and peoples from East to West has been a trend for this millennium,” says Shakeel Ansari, CEO of Mat the Basics. “We blend centuries old techniques with different yarns, counts and materials to create unique but simple rugs.” Mat the Basics carpets are a must-buy for any contemporary home. Prices start at $375. For more information visit www.mat-thebasics.com or call 760.375.9980.
