Nice and New: Angela Adams Handwoven Wool Rugs

CasaSugar — Wed, 05 May 2010 10:00:00 PDT

Angela Adams has debuted a line of handwoven, flatweave wool rugs that are easy underfoot and not too warm for the impending hot Summer days. With organic geometric patterns, the rugs are true to Adams's signature mod style.

The collection includes three designs: Nectar, Zag, and Ruthie. The latter, an optic, home-spun design named after Adams's mother, comes just in time for Mother's Day. “I could easily name everything after her, because she’s been an amazing supporter of my dreams. She has a great sense of style and color and loves to have fun," Angela says. The rugs range from $349 to $1,950, and are available in runner and rectangular sizes.

Ruthie ($349-$1950)

Nectar ($349-$1950)

Zag ($349-$1950)

The Fashion Week darlings may not be impressed to hear that four designers have new collections all at the same time. But in the interior design world, it's like the stars have aligned.

Nice and New: Angela Adams Pillows

CasaSugar — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 11:00:10 PDT

For most of us, the letters AA conjure up thoughts of the 12 Steps, morning-after remorse, or booze-filled Augusten Burroughs memoirs. But, when you're talking about Angela Adams, the letters connote all kinds of goodness. This time, it's pillows. Angela has impressed me with a new collection of throw pillows ($85) in a variety of bold graphic patterns and shapes. If her attention-grabbing rugs were too audacious for you, or just too expensive, maybe now is the time to incorporate some AA into your life. And there's no need to meet with a sponsor, or even cut back on your cocktail habit!

Steal of the Day: Angela Adams Islands Moonstone Rug

CasaSugar — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 10:08:49 PST

At 2-x-3-ft., this Angela Adams Islands Moonstone Rug ($70) may not be the biggest rug you can find for its price. But it packs in maximum eye-catching cool and circle trendiness that make it well worth it the spend. A well-designed attention grabber like this proves that not even 6-sq.-ft. of space should be overlooked. It's also probably the cheapest Angela Adams rug you can get your hands on.

Designer Spotlight: Angela Adams

CasaSugar — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 09:00:17 PDT

From her hand-tufted rugs to her retro-cool tableware, designer Angela Adams has a flair for giving traditional aesthetics a funky update. Raised and now residing in Maine with her furniture-designer husband Sherwood Hamill, Adams draws her inspiration from nature to produce surprisingly fashion-forward looks, including a line of handbags.

Whatever the medium, Adams' stunning designs are characterized by simple but surprising geometric patterns and modern, muted color combinations. While the handmade rugs are (understandably) rather pricey, Adams offers plenty of very affordable products too; she's even got a very hip comforter set offered at Bed Bath and Beyond. Check out the examples of her work below (just click on the photos) and tell me what you think.
