Description
A bold grid of contrasting triangles in gray, cream, and tan — the Karastan Oblique turns any floor into a modern design statement.
A rectangular area rug composed of a grid of equal squares, each divided diagonally into two triangles of contrasting colors. The palette cycles through charcoal gray, mid-gray, warm cream, tan/beige, and off-white, creating a dynamic pinwheel effect across the surface. Several triangles feature subtle horizontal linear texture details (fine ribbed lines), while others are smooth and solid, adding tactile and visual variety. The overall composition is bold and graphic — a modern patchwork of geometric shapes with a low-to-medium pile surface that appears smooth and machine-woven. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The rug reads as cool-neutral with warm undertones, balanced and sophisticated.
