We can’t speak for the legendary greats – Frida Kahlo, Agnes Martin, Helen Frankenthaler, Hilma af Klint, Lee Krasner, Mary Cassatt – but if we had to guess, we’d wager they would give Tomma Bloom resounding nods of approval followed by a round of applause over its latest rug collection. The Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary design studio founded by textile designer Tom Lerental has launched a series of rugs in collaboration with TTW Editions, the offshoot of Tuft The World by Tiernan Alexander and Tim Eads, that partners with artists and designers to create bespoke rugs. The Tomma Bloom x TTW Editions collection comprises six rugs which encapsulate the creative genius of these iconic women, simultaneously celebrating their legacy and reinterpreting it.
Each rug is inspired by an artist’s specific style or design expression: Agnes Martin for her minimalism, Frida Kahlo for her symbolism, Helen Frankenthaler for her expressive color fields, Hilma af Klint for her interest in geometry and spirituality, Lee Krasner for her energetic paintings, and finally, Mary Cassatt for her portraits of motherhood. Lerental reinterprets the styles in her own way as a fusion of historic and contemporary creativity.
The rugs are made to order in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania using 100% New Zealand wool and can be fully customized in size and colors.
