Inspired by the Ionian islands, Abstracted View captures the meeting of sea, sky and land through bold geometry and layered curves.

Kine

Kine takes its cue from Australia’s arid landscape, using colour and shape to explore culture, identity and connection. Referencing the swirling tones and fluid edges of a salt lake seen from above, the design balances delicacy and strength in a way that feels both organic and grounded.

Inspired by Yves Klein’s signature ultramarine, Lazuli plays vivid blue against a rich mocha base, softened by ecru and muted clay tones.

Zozo reflects the intensity and optimism that come with new chapters in life. Soft tonal transitions move into sharper contours, while deep reds, earthier shades and hints of gold create a layered composition that speaks to resilience, joy and transformation.

Slice

By Daniela Casadio
200 x 300cm
Hand Tufted, 100% New Zealand Wool + Shiny Nylon
RRP $4,260

Inspired by the veining of marbled stone, Slice turns a geological cross-section into an abstract, flowing design. Ribbon-like forms move across an off-white ground in earthy mauve, clay brown, steely blue and rich golden tones, with darker accents adding rhythm and definition throughout. Over 30s Category Highly Commended.

 

 

The result of the Designer Rugs Evolve Collection 2026 is a series of rugs that feel expressive, architectural and highly adaptable, with each design offering its own take on rhythm, contrast, texture and form. Whether used in a residential setting or a commercial interior, these pieces show how a rug can influence the mood of a room in a way that feels immediate and lasting.
