A combination of multi-dimensional cut pile and rich colors, the Fern Rug (2006) by Angela Adams evokes the feeling of plants blanketing a forest floor. “I’ve always been inspired by large-scale leaves,” says the designer. These organic shapes are highlighted by Adams’ use of rich color and thick pile, which add depth and texture to the Rug. Hand tufted out of 100% New Zealand wool, the Fern Rug’s 1" pile is soft and inviting. The edging is resolved without having to use a band, and the smooth cotton backing is attached using a natural rubber latex adhesive. This backing will not scratch floors, and a DWR Rug Pad is recommended to keep the Rug from sliding. The Fern Rug is made in India and Adams is a proud member of Rugmark, which ensures that her rugs are manufactured in a socially responsible manner. The global nonprofit organization is fighting to end child labor and improve educational opportunities for children in India, Pakistan and Nepal.
