Surya, a leading manufacturer of high-quality, fashion-forward area rugs and coordinating home accessories has partnered with artist Alexander Wyly based in Asheville, N.C. to introduce an inspired new line of hand-crafted rugs. Intended to add a modern touch to traditional spaces, the spirited designs play upon the dynamic harmony between simplicity and complexity, the organic and geometric, ancient and contemporary.

The collections, which will be unveiled at Atlanta Market, include Ridgewood, finely hand-tufted designs with rhythmic patterns accented by viscose and presented in sophisticated, natural hues; Lockhart, featuring a tight micro-loop technique to enhance bold, interlocking graphic forms; and Anagram, hand-tufted wool motifs with an energetic, undulating pattern created by the interplay of crisp geometric shapes.

Alexander Wyly, designer who specializes in the creation of pattern art for rugs, upholstery, wallcovering and various home goods said that his aim is to infuse a sense of joy, wonder and beauty into people’s lives with home decor that playfully combines vibrant color, texture and pattern. It’s a great experience working with the Surya product development team to interpret his design vision into beautiful rugs that will not only enhance interiors but, hopefully, transform them into artful and unexpected living spaces.

Wyly, who gathers inspiration from a number of sources, including daily walks in the woods of the Blue Ridge Mountains, tribal art and his travels to India, Japan, Thailand and New Zealand, has been creating innovative designs for upholstery, wall coverings and rugs for the past four years.

According to Satya Tiwari, president, Surya, Alexander’s lively designs have universal appeal with a contemporary yet timeless style that complements a broad range of lifestyles and decor needs. Alexander Wyly exemplifies Surya’s goal to deliver fresh design to today’s consumers.

Market attendees are invited to view the new rug collections at Atlanta Market – Americas Mart 11-A-1 – from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Surya has showrooms in Atlanta, Dallas, High Point, Las Vegas, New Delhi and Toronto.
