Mansour Modern
Posted by: Wendy Haworth
Mansour Modern has a wonderful collection of antique and contemporary rugs; some of my favorites are part of the The Circa Collection. What makes this collection unique is that they are actually antique rugs that have been unraveled and rewoven into vintage inspired designs - taking green to a whole new luxurious level. Founder and head designer of Mansour Modern, Ben Soleimani, says “Although these are new designs, the wool and yarns are repurposed from vintage rugs to create a contemporary piece with a unique and perfectly aged hand. They are magnificent in their texture and touch – they have a soul.” Shown below are rugs from the Circa Collection and a couple from the Vintage Collection, which are equally timeless and soulful.
