Designer Rugs, in collaboration with renowned interior designer Greg Natale, proudly introduces the Cruda Collection. This stunning series of six original rugs redefines the intersection of architectural modernism and soft materiality. This marks the seventh creative partnership between the two design powerhouses, showcasing their shared commitment to innovation and timeless elegance.
Inspired by the bold aesthetics of Brutalist art, Italian Rationalism, and modernist architecture, the Cruda Collection, named after the Italian word for "raw," translates architectural rigor into expressive, tactile floor coverings. With a harmonious blend of strong geometric forms, rich tonal palettes, and intricate textures, the collection captures the essence of abstraction while maintaining warmth and softness.
Greg Natale describes the collection as "an expression of reductive form and modern industrial materials, translated into a softer, tactile language." He emphasizes the beauty of imperfection and irregularity, celebrating these qualities as essential to contemporary aesthetics. The Cruda Collection invites homeowners to embrace these ideals, bringing symbolic and meaningful design into their spaces.
The Cruda Collection features six distinct designs: Vivo, Rozzo, Dura, Freddo, Ruvida, and Terroso. Each offers a unique interpretation of architectural influences. Handknotted in Tibetan wool with varying pile heights, these rugs exude a sculptural presence that elevates contemporary interiors. Here is what makes each design stand out:
The Cruda Collection is a testament to the enduring partnership between Designer Rugs and Greg Natale, which spans nearly two decades. Yosi Tal, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Designer Rugs, reflects on this collaboration:
"Greg's unique ability to translate architectural concepts into luxurious, tactile forms continually elevates our offerings. From our first project together to the launch of Cruda, our shared vision for design excellence has only grown stronger. It is a privilege to bring his creative vision to life."
The Cruda Collection is now available through Designer Rugs showrooms and online. Whether you are looking to add depth, movement, or a touch of modernist elegance to your interiors, these rugs offer a versatile and sophisticated solution.
