Dezeen Showroom: architecture firm Workshop/APD has drawn on its projects on the US island of Nantucket to create the Atlantic collection of rugs for Warp & Weft.

Designed by Workshop/APD designers Andrew Kline and Ruoxi Wang, the Atlantic rug collection applies the firm's elegant, contemporary aesthetic to the shapes, lines and colours of the American east coast.

The collection features six different designs arranged into three groupings: Tidal, Shore and Meander.

"Each of the groupings was intended to bring the landscape's textures, shapes and hues to life and into residential commercial spaces with a luxe, sophisticated aesthetic that transcends the traditional definition of a coastal aesthetic," said Workshop/APD principal Andrew Kotchen.

The Meander rugs come in two styles that reference winding pathways cut through beach grasses and that feature textural contrasts created by combining materials such as cut-pile wool with looped hemp.

The Shore rug is made of fine silk and features a watercolour effect reminiscent of waves lapping the sand, while the three Tidal rug designs are lined with dynamic strokes that are meant to evoke waves cresting and breaking against each other.
