Rugs used by people with good taste
Ceramic artist Asami Ogawa
I bought this rug at amaleh, a select shop for vintage rugs. We all gather in front of the wood stove in the winter, so I was looking for something just right to put there, and fell in love with it at first sight.
I'm drawn to the warm, subdued colors and the woven pattern that resembles a modified diamond pattern. My cats seem to love the moderate thickness and uneven surface, and love purring around on it.

<mitosaya> Yuko Yamamoto
I bought this at a kilim exhibition at DEE'S HALL in Aoyama a while back. I liked the unique, simple pattern that has a slightly European feel to it, so I picked it up.
The bright red woven fabric provides a warm covering to the bare floor. We've moved to many different places together, and each time I find a new place to lay it down, I wash it when the season is over and take good care of it.

<KIGI> Ryosuke Uehara
Rugs are one of my favorite interior items because they add a touch of luxury to a room. This rug is made from different materials and is hand-woven with a mix of colored threads. You can choose the size, but I use the larger size. They are available to order at OFS.TOKYO (Ikejiri-Ohashi, Tokyo).

Creative Director Shigenobu Yamaoka
This is a graphic rug that I designed together with New York graffiti artist Eric Haze around 20 years ago, when I was studying under him. At first, I drew it as a line drawing, but he taught me to "use shading on the surface, not lines," so I expressed it through painting.
We also created limited edition products with the same graphics, such as silk posters, all made in the US. They are memorable items.
