While the desert can be a barren, hostile
place, e Rug Company clearly envisions it as
an oasis. Among the line's hand-woven, artisan-
made performance options, all feature stain-
repellent Perrenials' performance yarn, which
is 100 percent solution-dyed acrylic technology
that allows the colors to infuse the yarn to its
core. is means that the rugs are resistant to
fading and able to withstand the elements of their
domestic environment (mold, mildew, water). e
line's durable designs make a splash beyond the
poolside patio to include heavy-trafficked interior
spaces such as the kitchen and bathroom. Given
its attributes, the collection as a whole presents
a stunning alternative in the outdoor category.
Resilience aside, the Endurance Collection
is aesthetically refined and engenders a garden
party feel from afar and underfoot. Like sunrise
or sunset, the colors of these floorcoverings shift
from soft and calming tones like light blue, rosy
pink and canyon-sand neutral to punched-up red
and dark gray shades, reflected by the options
"Cabo," "Vista," "Culver Terracotta," "Pacific,"
"Laguna," "Marina," "Mirage" and more. e
line's most notable namesake is of particular
interest to local design lovers—iconic Modernist
architect Richard Neutra. Featuring the same
hues and motifs of midcentury California, the
geometrically interesting "Neutra" telegraphs
aesthetic explorations of and connection to
nature, and also flaunts e Rug Company's
penchant for richly rendered patterns. Endurance
Collection's 12 motifs also include stripes of
varying thickness, a kind of elongated ombre,
and abstractions of shapes. Available in various
sizes, $53/square foot, at e Rug Company
showrooms. therugcompany.com
