The 52-rug series from Mansour Modern designer Ben Soleimani runs the
gamut from traditional pieces that recall Mansour Modern's exquisite
antiques inventory (Restoration Hardware's co-CEO Gary Friedman is a
fan) to modern creations like Talaa (left), each in Restoration
Hardware's signature muted palette. Soleimani's exacting standards are
present in the unique combinations of angora and looped Tibetan wool and
in more unusual materials like cactus and hemp fibers.
