Cool Hunting

Thanks to our recent sponsor Bravo, we were able to get the scoop on the patchwork rug from Erik Kolacz' winning design in last night's episode of the new show Top Design. Handmade in Izmir, Turkey, the 5'9" x 7'9" rug features geometric pieces of brown and white cow hides in an asymmetrical pattern finished with a leather chain-stitch and retails for $2400. Other than the perfect floor covering for Kolacz' "Pirate Hideout," the unconventional piece adds modern shapes and a masculine edge to a space.
