# Irregular Rug Shapes Patricia Urquiola's New Collection is Available in Three Primary Colors By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-06-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rug-shape References: [design-milk](https://design-milk.com/patricia-urquiola-creates-a-bold-new-rug-collection-for-gan/) & [patriciaurquiola](http://www.patriciaurquiola.com/) Designer Patricia Urquiola is following up her engaging and mesmerizing optical illusion carpets with a collection of irregular rug shapes. The new offering has been dubbed '[Mirage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirage-onda)' and was made in collaboration with textile brand [GAN](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giro). Once again, Patricia Urquiola was inspired by the Op Art movement in the creation of these bold and somewhat puzzling designs. Each of the bizarre rug shapes is [hand-knotted](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hare-klein) and created from pure New Zealand wool. Mirage is a testimony to modernity. The sophisticated geometry, combined with the subtle colorful gradients, fosters a three-dimensional effect that relates a strong dynamic between shape, form and overall aesthetic. The items in the Mirage collection are offered in three colors — blue, nude and orange, and are ideal as an accent to the living room or even as a wall-hanging piece. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Irregular Rug Shapes:** The creation of new and unconventional shapes in rug design, using modern techniques and materials can disrupt the traditional market. - **Op Art-inspired Designs:** Creating designs that pay homage to art movements and translating them into modern interpretations can create unique and appealing products. - **Three-dimensional Effects:** Fostering a three-dimensional effect on product design using subtle gradients and geometry can create an engaging and dynamic customer experience. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Designers and companies in the home decor industry should explore unconventional shapes and art-inspired designs to create unique and modern offerings. - **Textile:** Innovations in textile design can involve exploring the use of modern materials and techniques to create bold and dynamic designs that are both functional and visually appealing. - **Artistic Furniture:** Furniture designers can add an artistic touch to their products by incorporating op-art inspired designs and three-dimensional effects into their creations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Patterned Artisanal Hand-Tufted Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giro.md) - [Abstract Geometric Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/discorectangle.md) - [Math-Inspired Colorful Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weave-collection.md) - [Mesmerizing Artful Patterned Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electtrico-collection.md) - [Artful Versatile Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanimarquina.md) - [Gem-Inspired Illusion Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gem-rug-collection.md) - [Exquisite Textured Rug Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/textured-rug.md) - [Artful Various Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cctapis.md) - [Oil Painting-Inspired Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antonio-santn.md)
