Annie Selke is offering new denim rugs in soft blues, sun-washed neutrals and subtle pattern play that feels timeless rather than themed. This season, they are thinking relaxed and polished, with an emphasis on comfort and texture, and that “just-opened-the-windows feeling.”
The new rugs include:
Dymera denim bordered rug
A softly defined frame of light neutral tones brings structure to layered denim texture, creating depth through gentle contrast. Handwoven texture and subtle fringe add a composed, tactile finish.
Dira denim diamond rug
A tonal field of denim develops dimension through softened variation and tactile texture. A handwoven construction is complemented by subtle fringe for an understated finish.
Dahara denim abstract rug
Soft denim‑hued bands create a relaxed sense of movement against a light, neutral ground. Handwoven texture finishes with fringe for an easy, refined touch.
Diora denim striped rug
Layered bands of denim and natural light move across the surface with understated balance. A handwoven construction adds tactile depth, finished with soft fringe for an easy, elevated edge.

Revival Rugs is introducing two new styles. Shima, for summer-ready indoor-outdoor styling, and Khder for a rare combination of natural wool texture and machine washability.
Shima
Arriving just in time for patio season, Shima is designed to move seamlessly between bedrooms, porches, sunrooms and outdoor entertaining spaces.
The fabric is made from 100% recycled PET sourced from plastic bottles. It’s moisture and mildew-resistant and is a soft, chunky flatweave inspired by ‘90s minimalism. Comes in Jungle and Peach colorways.

Inspired by Moroccan design, Khder draws from the lush wool, vibrant color, and geometric motifs of rugs sourced across the Atlas Mountains. The washable wool rug is made from New Zealand wool and cotton and has a medium pile construction for softness, warmth, and texture. Available in Moss and Rose colorways the rug is machine washable, which is a standout feature in a category where washable wool is still relatively uncommon.

The aerial images of Italian photographer Giacomo Giannini are now a series of limited-edition rugs. The project premiered at the photography exhibition The Phairin Turin and it stems from the synergy between Giannini, Stefano Seletti and Paola Sosio.
Giannini is an eclectic and multidisciplinary figure whose practice crosses photography, film and visual communication, always maintaining an original gaze and a strong experimental tension.
From the synergy between Stefano Seletti, the brand’s art director, Giannini’s gaze and the gallerist Paola Sosio, three aerial images–part of the complex research conducted by the photographer between 1985 and 1992 across the Italian territory–become the protagonists of a limited series of rugs, 30 numbered pieces for each subject, transforming photography into an immersive and tactile experience.
Presented as a preview at The Phair–a photography fair held in Torino, Italy, from May 22 to 24, 2026–the collection consolidates Seletti’s natural propensity to cross boundaries between languages, transforming artists’ visions into living design objects that make art accessible through unprecedented methods.
The three shots, emblematic of Giannini’s powerful expressive language, offer a new interpretation of the landscape from a zenithal point of view; they are visual narratives that reflect on memory, identity, and the delicate relationship between man and environment.
From this perspective, real space is abstracted and transformed into surfaces of strong compositional rigor, where natural geometries, colors, and textures are recomposed into images with an almost painterly character. The works selected for the rug collection–each measuring 280×200 cm–are distinguished by their natural vocation for transposition into objects, giving life to a new relationship with the image: no longer just observed, but inhabited, crossed, and lived within daily space, in a continuous dialogue between art, design and materials.
The three subjects play with chromatic saturation and urban geometry. Holiday at the seaside #18 is a tribute to the aesthetics of the Italian coastlines.
Sfasciacarrozze (Scrapyard) instead elevates mechanical chaos into a complex and hypnotic chromatic texture, while Basket focuses on the melancholic charm of an empty playground marked by time, where the human absence emphasizes the graphic strength of the lines and worn materials.
