What do Egyptian and Roman architecture, Gothic stonework, and twentieth-century modernism all have in common? The answer, in case you’re still scratching your head, is Jeremiah Brent’s new rug collection for Loloi. The interior designer’s fall drop—his second one for the brand—stars 35-plus rugs and an assortment of pillows that draw on strong structural lines, tile-inspired patterns, and carved borders. Despite pulling inspiration from different periods, they all speak to one another. “I think that’s where the interesting stuff happens,” says Brent.
Given the line is so expansive, we’re offering a rundown of some of the mini collections within the launch: The wool blend Aalto assortment features graphic piles and floral borders that look like they were delicately carved. The geometric Fori rugs move away from trendy checkerboards with woven-inspired grids. The Obelisk bunch elevates solid tones with notched corners. The Tracery group features linear patterns over a tightly woven jute-blended base.
Here are a few more highlights from the release, straight from the designer himself.
The Rug He’s Excited for You to Shop
The Obelisk! I’ve always been drawn to notched and scalloped details in design, from stone countertops to door frames and millwork. I love that we were able to create something that brings that same architectural language to your home without the need for construction.
The Most Versatile Design in the Bunch
I keep coming back to the Perret. There’s something so beautiful about its simplicity. It can sit quietly beneath tonal furniture and create a serene environment, or participate in a room filled with contrasting colors and collected objects. I love pieces that can take on a different personality depending on what surrounds them.
His Hot Rug Buying Take
I will say, there are very few instances where a four-by-six-foot rug is the right choice. The bigger, the better when it comes to choosing a rug for your space.
The Solids—And When to Use Them
If there’s a lot happening architecturally, or if I’m working with pieces that have a strong presence, I typically reach for a solid rug to give everything room to breathe. When I do introduce pattern, I think of it as another architectural element, something that brings rhythm and structure to a room.
