Taking cues from surrealism, astrology, and the great French and Italian designers of the early 20th century, creative polyglots Adam Charlap Hyman and Andre Herrero (the duo behind Charlap Hyman & Herrero) and artist Pilar Almon are dialing up the whimsy for their latest collaboration with Patterson Flynn. Named “21” in a nod to Madeleine Castaing’s Paris shop address (21 rue Bonaparte), the collection “is a little bit trompe l’oeil, a little bit 1930s Italian, with a connection to celestial symbology,” says Charlap Hyman. “We haven’t designed rugs in color before now—it was a fun new place to explore.”
Sumptuous hand-knotted wool and silk are transformed into a work of art in the hands of Charlap Hyman & Herrero and Pilar Almon. Their Grace rug, adorned with the phases of the moon, was inspired by a favorite Gio Ponti–designed building in Milan.
Explore the home that has become an incubator for Charlap Hyman and Almon’s playful and dynamic collections for Schumacher and Patterson Flynn.
