MOD collection by Studio Mae Engelgeer

I’ve featured the beautiful textiles of Amsterdam-based designer Mae Engelgeer before (see the post here) – she creates fresh, soft, pastel-shaded blankets, tea towels and tablecloths, with pops of vibrantly coloured yarns, such as her signature orange. She’s incredibly talented and boy would I like some of her textiles dotted around my house, especially this rug…

Her new MOD collection, seen here, is minimalistic and modern with graphic patterns, line play and subtle gradients of black, midnight blue and (Pantone colour of the year) Marsala. MOD is a slightly more monochrome departure from her pastel-coloured collections so far – I love the deep, moody, grown-up feel to it.

The collection was shown last week at Milan Design Week during Engelgeer’s first solo presentation. The round shaggy rug, created with design studio ICE International, particularly caught my eye – the rug’s gradient starts with undyed wool running to lilac, light grey, dark grey and a black and white melange, pierced by two contrasting lines in burgundy red.
