Capel showcases its new hand-knotted Aria collection, crafted of undyed wool, at summer market.
 
LAS VEGAS -- Capel Rugs is debuting a sophisticated new wool rug collection featuring earthy colorations and lush textures, as well as a dynamic new braided design at the Las Vegas Market, July 30-Aug. 3. Capel Rugs shows in Space A-133 of the World Market Center.

The new hand-knotted collection, Aria, makes a stylish transitional statement with its beautifully designed geometric yet organic, bohemian-influenced patterns. Hand-woven in India, the collection features natural undyed wool that is hand-carded, with a lush, high-low profile.

Four colors are available, including black/white, ivory, natural and beige, in four sizes – 3x5, 5x8, 8x10 and 9x12. A 5x8’ size may retail for $699.

“The tonal values and amazing textures of Aria’s high-low pile blend perfectly with the boho style. It’s a very attractive, eco-friendly rug design,” said Cameron Capel, president – sales and marketing for Capel Rugs.

In Las Vegas, Capel Rugs also is showing a new indoor/outdoor braided rug collection in coastal styling called Down East. Made in the U.S.A. of 100 percent texturized polypropylene, this design is constructed with two braid types to create a high-low pile and texture. The larger, outer braid features a scalloped edge, and the tone-on-tone color palette provides a soothing feel.

Down East comes in four colors – sand dollar, marsh grass, cape shoals and oyster rock. A 5x8 oval may retail for $599.

"The colors are reminiscent of the coastal area around the North Carolina Outer Banks," Capel adds. “And the synthetic yarns provide strength and durability, making this a wonderfully textural reversible rug.”

Capel Rugs also is showing two new machine-made collections in Las Vegas – Captiva and Retreat — that are new to West Coast customers. Designed for indoor or outdoor use, both collections are woven on Wilton looms using weather-durable 100 percent olefin yarns. Two sizes are available in each collection – 5’3” x 7’6” and 7’10” x 10’10." The smaller size may retail at $199.

Captiva features four patterns and nine colorways: Ikat, in navy, red, ivory and brown; Tabriz, in navy and red; Tile, in blue; and Zuo, in ocean and multi. Styling includes traditional, transitional and coastal/modern motifs.

Retreat features two patterns and five colorways: Haven, in slate and umber; and Lodge, in denim, ivory and smoke. Styling includes lodge/southwest and transitional themes.

Retailers and designers shopping the Las Vegas Market also will see a variety of dynamic new transitional and traditional designs in the Capel Rugs showroom this spring. They include pattern and color additions to Zenith, a new collection introduced last fall that’s off to a strong start at retail. Lava, an existing pattern, is now available in an ocean colorway, and a new pattern ­– Fossil – is being introduced in a harbor colorway.

A timely collection with a plush high-low texture and a lively blending of natural colors, Zenith features raised patterning that adds flair as well as a feeling of movement and fluidity. The Zenith collection is machine-made in Turkey on Wilton looms using a blend of 90 percent polyester and 10 percent olefin yarns.
