# Luxurious Gradient Rug Designs The Rug Company x David Rockwell Reference Nature in New Collection By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-03-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gradient-rug References: [design-milk](https://design-milk.com/david-rockwell-collaborates-with-the-rug-company-on-a-new-trio-of-rugs/) & [therugcompany](https://www.therugcompany.com/us-en/designers/david-rockwell/) The new [gradient rug collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sedona-series) by the Rug Company and architect David Rockwell takes cues from abstract art brushwork, natural textures and watercolor paint. The luxurious product line is conceptualized to celebrate a love for nature. 'Misty' is a gradient rug that boasts a bamboo silk material in rich indigo ombré palette. The 'Moonlight Tidal' has a more obvious nature-inspired character as its design mimics the reflective effect of water. Finally, 'Lola' contains a stronger [abstract feel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/talk-talk) with Roy Lichtenstein-inspired brushstrokes and is actually a rug that boasts designs of decorated glazed ceramic vessels by Rockwell and his daughter Lola. The modern luxurious gradient rugs are entirely [handmade by Nepalese weavers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/massimo-copenhagens) and are available in multiple sizes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gradient Rug Designs:** Opportunity for designers to explore new ways of combining colors and textures in rug designs. - **Nature-inspired Products:** Companies can create a range of luxurious products that celebrate and incorporate elements from the natural world. - **Handmade Artisan Craftsmanship:** There is a growing demand for unique, handcrafted products made by skilled artisans. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can collaborate with rug manufacturers to create custom gradient rugs for their clients. - **Home Decor:** Home decor retailers can add luxury gradient rugs to their product offerings to attract customers looking for high-end design. - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can draw inspiration from nature and abstract art to create innovative rug designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Season-Inspired Rug Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistic-rug-range.md) - [Organic Pebble-Patterned Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grain-collection.md) - [Mesmerizing Artful Patterned Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electtrico-collection.md) - [Abstract Geometric Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/discorectangle.md) - [Layered Landscape Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masterpieces-ii.md) - [Vibrantly Abstract Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abstraction-collection.md) - [Artful Versatile Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanimarquina.md) - [Math-Inspired Colorful Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weave-collection.md) - [Hand-Knotted Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hare-klein.md)
