Modern Rugs LA and Los Angeles-based designer Luis Fernandez have collaborated on a collection of rugs. Dubbed Monochromatic Patterns, the collection is a melange of Fernandez’s signature sophistication and Modern Rugs LA’s expertise, gleaned from over 20 years of design and manufacturing experience.

The capsule collection is grounded in restraint and minimalism. Tone-on-tone designs realised in olive green, blush, cream, navy blue and grey allow the intricate detailing to come to the fore, and the use of hand-carving techniques, exceptional materials like woven silks and premium wools, and supreme artisanship elevate the collection. Every rug is fully customisable, giving clients the flexibility to make these new designs their own.

“The subtle gradients, repetitive patterns and geometric shapes provide a fresh take on minimalism, offering elegant and versatile designs.”

Bold geometric tropes are visually interesting yet quiet, and a measured approach to tonality reflects Fernandez’s design rationale and affinity for monochromes. The designer, whose practice encompasses creative direction and design services spanning the high-end residential, retail and hospitality sectors, sees the collection as an extension of his broader design work. “The subtle gradients, repetitive patterns and geometric shapes provide a fresh take on minimalism, offering elegant and versatile designs,” he says.

It’s a natural partnership for Modern Rugs LA and Fernandez, who have been regular collaborators for several years. Reflecting on the creative process, Modern Rugs LA founder Sasha Alexander describes it as “an extraordinary experience,” adding that “Fernandez’s vision for design and razor-focused branding aligns perfectly with our commitment to quality and innovation. Together, we’ve crafted a collection that not only embodies modern sophistication but also offers a customisable, accessible option for clients who demand both style and substance.”

Modern Rugs LA and Fernandez’s complementary design philosophies, which find their groundings in longevity, a reverence for craft and modern minimalism, are embodied in this striking new collection. Launching in November and available from the Modern Rugs LA flagship in West Hollywood and on their website, Monochromatic Patterns promises to be a versatile and dependable mainstay.
