PROJECT AMERICANA by ABC Carpet & Home

As much folk-art as functional design, these one-of-a-kind rugs offer unconventional interpretations of the American flag. Each is handmade by Turkish artisans from recycled textile remnants; the results are a beautiful jumble of color, pattern, form and texture. A Gilt Home exclusive, the rugs are part of ABC Carpet & Home’s Project Americana, which aims to encourage creative expression and preserve traditional arts.
