Coastal Influence Runs Deep in Alex DelBello’s Latest Rug Collection

Painter and interior designer Alex DelBello explores organic beauty with Coastal, an ocean-themed collection of rugs featuring compositions pulled from her paintings. Dreamed up in Westchester, New York, and handmade by weavers in Bhadohi, India, the works are crafted of durable New Zealand wool. Patterns derive from the colors and forms of nature: textured feathers for Wing, oceanside rock formations for Bluff, seashells for Scallop. Ripple’s design comes from the wavy sand striations made by tides, and Splash recalls a stylized version of airborne water. (Drop, Pebble, and Lull round out the line.) With eight patterns total, each available in six carefully considered colorways, the collection is certain to make waves.
