Madeline’s entry into the world of design was, in many respects, organic. An established painter, she exhibited regularly throughout the 1990s and taught drawing at CUNY before designing her first carpet collection for ABC Carpet & Home in 1997. Inspired by the challenge of translating painterly ideals to warp and weft, Madeline sensed an opportunity to carve out a new niche and to redefine what was at the time a conservative, ancient idiom. With her individual approach to pattern, palette and scale, her unorthodox, ultra-chic reinterpretations bring an unprecedented vitality to a centuries-old art form.
Madeline’s first carpet collection was inspired by her charcoal drawings, but she often says she really found her voice as a designer when she started creating her colorful cotton flatweaves, which are now one of her signature (and most popular) products.

Travel is also a big source of inspiration for Madeline — the countries she frequents most often include India, Morocco, Turkey, and Nepal. Many of her designs are inspired by traditional motifs or patterns she discovers while traveling; by playing with the scale and color palette she translates what may have previously been a very traditional motif into something completely new and modern.

There are not words for how amazing the carpet shown above is in person. Here is a detail of this same carpet, where you can practically feel how soft and shimmery the silk content makes this one.

I love Madeline Weinrib designs, her interiors allow one to appreciate the beauty of a pattern as it moves with other textures rather than be overwhelmed by it. Her fabrics and rugs offer great coloration and are unique without offering up a date stamp. Thanks for the reminder!

I’ve always been a huge fan of Madeline Weinrib, as I will always be partial to ikats and a little dose of ethnic. In my mind, they are never outdated and are always trending, so thanks for sharing!
