The late, great Iris Apfel is perhaps best known for her maximalist tendencies. An ambassador of color and bold prints, the interior and fashion designer advocated a “more is more” approach to decorating—an affinity that naturally carries over into her posthumous projects.
The style maven brought her bold flair to Ruggable. Two collections have been launched in recent years, and the rug brand has now released a third version in honor of Apfel’s 103rd birthday.
The latest Ruggable x Iris Apfel collection features a dopamine decor vibe and includes two new rug designs, both featuring floral motifs and colorful backgrounds.
According to a press release, the collection is inspired by Apfel’s personal textile library, which was created in collaboration with the designer before she passed away earlier this year.
“The third edition of the Ruggable x Iris Apfel collection, which we were able to work on with Iris before her passing, is an incredible tribute to her life,” says Cassandra Leisz, Senior Creative Director at Ruggable. “Iris’ extraordinary vision and unparalleled style have left an indelible mark on the world of design, and we are honored to play a small part in ensuring her legacy lives on.”
The two new flatweave designs are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, from hallway runners to large rugs. And the best part? The two designs are just a small taste of a full collection launching this fall.
