Como Rug
When Christopher Farr painted Italy's Lake Como in the 1970s, he never imagined that the watercolor would later inspire a rug. However, it's really no surprise, considering Farr approaches the floor as the fifth wall. His Como Rug (2006), available only at DWR, is similar to the other pieces in his rug collection in how it has the power of an abstract canvas for the floor. Its fields of harmonious color can enlarge the feeling of a room or bring balance and focus to the elements of a space. Suitable for residential or contract settings, Como is made using ancient rug weaving techniques. The 100% wool is hand spun, hand tufted and manually dyed in small batches to create rich tonal nuances in the strands. The Como Rug will grow even more beautiful with time as the wool's natural lanolin emerges and invigorates the surface, creating enhanced luster over the years. Each rug is signed by the designer and numbered. The Como Rug ships with return packing materials to make it easier for you to try the rug in your space. Made in India.

As a young abstract painter in 1975, he won a Boise Traveling Fellowship to Peru. It was this trip that soon sealed the direction of his artistic life, because there Farr encountered pre-Columbian textiles for the first time and was seized by the magnetism and utility of the 3,000-year-old work. He began to search for ways to marry his love of abstraction to the ancient craft of...
