Description
A graphic patchwork of triangles in slate blue, charcoal, gray, and cream — the Karastan Oblique brings bold modern geometry to any room with a cool, collected palette.
A rectangular area rug composed of a 4x5 grid of square blocks, each divided diagonally into two triangles. Each triangle is filled with a distinct solid or subtly textured color — slate blue, mid-gray, charcoal, off-white, and cream — creating a bold patchwork-style geometric composition. Within many triangles, fine parallel linear striations run in varying directions, adding a woven texture effect. The overall palette is cool-toned: blues and grays dominate, with cream and white providing graphic contrast. The rug has a smooth, low-to-medium pile surface with clean bound edges and no fringe or tassels. At a glance it reads as a graphic, modern quilt-like pattern with strong diagonal movement across the surface.

About This Rug
The Karastan Oblique Area Rug is a striking modern statement piece built around a bold geometric triangle pattern. Each square block of the rug features a large triangle rendered in a different shade — slate blue, charcoal, mid-gray, cream, and off-white — creating a patchwork-style composition that feels both graphic and sophisticated. Subtle linear texture within each triangle adds depth and a handcrafted quality to what is otherwise a clean, contemporary design.
The cool blue and gray palette gives it a calm, collected energy that works beautifully in modern and mid-century modern interiors. Constructed from durable polyester with a medium pile height of 0.39 inches, this machine-made rug is built to handle everyday foot traffic without sacrificing style. The cotton canvas backing keeps it stable underfoot.
Whether anchoring a living room seating area, adding visual interest to a home office, or layering in a bedroom, the Oblique's bold geometry and versatile cool-toned palette make it an easy choice for anyone looking to elevate their space with a rug that actually makes a statement.
