With the popularity of Greek flokatis, Berber tribal graphics from Morocco and other ethnic rugs, it's hardly surprising that Patricia Urquiola has launched her first carpet collection.
The Spanish-born designer has teamed with the Italian firm Moroso to update traditional Sardinian animal and floral motifs with a contemporary punch. Hand-woven on Old World looms, the patterns are available in two color combinations in naturally dyed wool. The carpets measure 6 1/2 feet by nearly 10 feet and sell for $9,527 through Jules Seltzer Associates, 8833 Beverly Blvd., L.A. (310) 274-7243 or www.julesseltzer.com.
