Karim Rashid

has always insisted that the future is now-and that design should start responding to that. Known for his biomorphic shapes, Rashid has teamed up with Dutch company Carpet Sign to offer Lush, a collection of area rugs characterized by gradient color and techno-inspired iconography.

Created as "echoes of the present," the carpets in Lush offer geometric and curvaceous shapes in concert with undulating lines and playful color. They are a millennial version of Op art.

From the blobular Supernova, with its rhythmic curves, to the rhombic Krest, with its strict linearity, rugs in the Lush collection read like modern-day pictograms.

Colors include playful pinks, vibrant yellows, grassy greens, vivid blues, and galactic blacks.
