Liselotte Watkins Rugs by Evan Orensten
Liselotte Watkins is a talented fashion illustrator from Sweden who's set her sights a bit lower. On the floor, to be precise. She's created a small collection of vibrant, colorful designs that are really beautiful and totally fresh. The 100% wool rugs are available in a range of custom colors and sizes, and are hand tufted in New Jersey (who knew?). Available from Space Downtown.

Ísbjörn / Ice Bear Rug
This imitation polar bear-skin rug is designed by Reykjavik-based designer Sruli Recht for Birkiland. Limited to a single run of 10, the Ice Bear is not just the cute-and-cuddly accessory it appears. The designer hopes to pack a dose of symbolism into the classic man-over-beast accessory. Cobbled together from 15 different Icelandic sheepskins, it's meant to resemble the classic butcher's diagram poster that labels...
