Woven Palette - Rug designs by Barbara Jacobs

17 September 2005: Colorful "new twist" on Tibetan rugs. Color is Key in The Barbara Jacobs Woven Palette, the first in a series of rug designs by Barbara Jacobs created for Pandith’s Oriental Rug Gallery, Boston, Mass.

Acorns, detail “Marketing psychologists agree that color accounts for 60% of our response to a place, and that includes our homes,” says Jacobs to Jozan Magazine. "This new group of floor coverings follows my underlying philosophy as a colorist: color, even in home furnishings, can—and should—be used with a purpose, to help create environments that meet our goals for a particular space whether it be a home or an office" she continues.

According to Barbara Jacobs she based her designs on a unique “Beyond the Trends” approach to using color in furnishings for the home and office. The “new twist” refers to this approach combined with an innovative weaving process. 

Barbara JacobsColors in “The Woven Palette: Arts and Crafts series” range from softly neutral and warm to dramatically rich and vibrant.

"Because a rug can be the primary visual field, and often the focal point of a room, these designs are intended to complement each other and offer variety with continuity when used in adjacent rooms", she says.

According to Anwar Pandith the hand knotted rugs are made in India using an innovative weaving process: A mixture of thick, 4-ply twisted fine Afghan Ghazni and New Zealand wools are blended with select, high-quality Dhariwal Indian wool. This fiber combination creates very durable and strong yarns, woven using a combination of Tibetan and Turkish knots. The wools are hand carded, hand spun and naturally dyed.
