Nice and New: Henzel Art Pillows

CasaSugar — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 04:30:37 -0700

I've shown you some rugs by Sweden-based design/art studio Henzel before, and you were pretty split over whether you loved them or hated them. Several of you expressed that although they would make a great focal point in a room, it might be hard to integrate them. Well, Calle Henzel has created a collection with that same bold presence in a smaller dose, which just might be the next best thing: the Henzel Art Pillows (inquire for price). The luxe contemporary pillow collection is the antithesis of run-of-the-mill, featuring a mix of materials, patterns, and printing techniques. No, they're not exactly my style, but I do find them cool and arty looking; perhaps more suited to a mod bachelor pad. What do you think?

Love It or Hate It? Henzel Fusion Martinique Rug

Henzel's mission is to make rugs a key element of interior design, rather than something overlooked or purchased to "match" an already decorated room. The Fusion Martinique Rug ($550-$850/sqm) is definitely a focal point and conversation piece, which communicates more of the definition "pop art" than "floor covering." What do you think?

Love It or Hate It? Royal Tie Break Rug

This handtufted New Zealand wool rug (price upon request) features some pretty-in-pink lions. I love this rug conceptually, but you'd have to plan an entire room specifically around these fierce gentlemen. Can you see this rug anywhere in your home?
