On Thursday September 8th, Eric Haydel, Principal of Eric Haydel Design and current ASID NE Chapter President, hosted a press preview event to launch his Carnival Rug line in collaboration with Dover Rug & Home at their Boston showroom.
The Carnival Rug Collection was inspired by Eric’s life experience as a designer. The exclusive line, available only at Dover Rug & Home, showcases a variety of colors, textures and patterns, captured by Eric’s personal journey and the essence of the cultural spirit of Louisiana, where he grew up. Each rug is inspired by the Big Easy, with heavy influence from Mardi Gras, transforming them into pieces that could fit into any home, regardless of style.
The three designs: Streetcar, Masquerade and Second Line are available in the standard 8×10 and 9×12 as well as custom sizes by request. Each rug is made of silk and wool and are hand-knotted, making each slightly different.
