A Character-Filled L.A. Home Inspires Beni Rug’s New Line
Beni Rug’s latest collection was inspired by a home in the Los Angeles hills that was once an enclave for psychedelic experimentation and sun worship. The Flamingo Estate series is a collaboration between Beni Rugs’s cofounders, Robert Wright and Tiberio Lobo-Navia, and estate owner Richard Christiansen, who runs a rarified home-goods brand of the same name. The 13 floor-covering designs derive from decorative elements found throughout the property, which was built in the 1940s and more recently glamified by Studio KO. Motifs riff on brickwork, garden flora, and even leopard-spot upholstery. Cactus Pool channels a lapis-lined water feature in the garden; Breakfast Table interprets a striped-wood dining hub; Bathhouse Reflection evokes light cast from blue stained-glass windows; and Pavilion Tiles is a nod to the graphic kitchen counter. The designs, available in two or three colorways each, are handcrafted of wool in Morocco and can be specified in custom sizes.
