Surya will launch at April’s High Point Market three rug collections from William magnum, a nationally and internationally acclaimed artist who- for more than 35 years – has captured in his paintings the essence of the American Landscape.
From the aura and textures of the Blue Ridge Mountains to sparkling, windswept shorelines, Mangum’s rug designs artfully infuse elements natural world into living spaces to create inspired tapestries that celebrate the lives of the inhabitants.
The collections, which take their cues from the diverse regions in Mangum’s native North Carolina, include:
Artisan - Overscaled fern and pine motifs are brought to life in this outdoor safe collection of hand-hooked rugs featuring tonal hues in a natural palette.
Essential - Hand-woven jute and colors of earth blend harmoniously in this textural collection, echoing the rugged beauty of the ever-changing landscape.
Remarque - Impressions of sand and water kissed by dappled sunlight evoke a sense of gentle movement in this collection of hand-tufted wool rugs with viscose accents.
“My goal as an artist is help people to become astute observers of the world around them, to encourage them to pause and appreciate nature’s inherent ability to shape our mood and comfort levels,” said William Mangum, artist. “With these new rug collections for Surya, I wanted to provide an accessible way for people to bring the beauty of the outdoors into their home environments while also complementing the latest home decor and fashion trends. The Surya team has been a great partner in translating my artistic vision into timeless, handcrafted rugs that provide the perfect canvas upon which individuals can express their unique style.” He added.
Market attendees are invited to explore William Mangum’s rug collection at Surya’s flagship showroom – Showplace 4100 – which will be open daily from 8a.m to 8p.m. Surya is also hosting several educational and social events and will serve a complimentary catered breakfast and lunch each day, along with hors d’oeuvres and cocktails each evening.
