Lasting Rugs by Artaic

Collection Summary

Lasting Rugs by Artaic translates the visual language of woven textiles into permanent mosaic surfaces. References range from traditional Persian tapestries, Turkish kilims, and Oushak patterns to contemporary geometric, striped, and animal-inspired motifs.

Tile X Design lists nine designs: Manor, Adana, Konya, Strie, Crushed Velvet, Soho Stripe, Antelope, Quill, and Cheetah.

Design & Aesthetic

The collection deliberately spans multiple textile traditions rather than adhering to one historical style. Some patterns reproduce the layered geometry associated with woven rugs, while designs such as Strie, Soho Stripe, Antelope, and Cheetah introduce simpler or more contemporary surface rhythms.

Its extensive color offering supports both tonal and high-contrast interpretations.

Material & Craftsmanship

Tile X Design lists natural stone, porcelain, sintered glass, and vitreous glass among the materials associated with Lasting Rugs and notes that Artaic mosaics are produced to order and customizable by tile type, size, color, and imagery.

Design Applications

Tile X Design lists both floor and wall applications, allowing the rug concept to function literally as a patterned floor field or vertically as a textile-inspired feature surface. Residential, commercial, and feature-wall uses are also identified.

Specifying Lasting Rugs

Nine patterns are currently available with a broad color selection with traditional, neutral, saturated, and metallic-associated palettes.

Different tile materials may have different technical characteristics, so the selected material must be established before specification requirements are finalized.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Lasting Rugs have to be installed on a floor?

No. Tile X Design lists both floor and wall applications. The woven-rug concept can therefore be interpreted horizontally or as a vertical decorative surface.

Is the collection limited to traditional rug patterns?

No. Lasting Rugs combines historical textile references with contemporary stripes, geometric patterns, and animal-inspired motifs.

Do all Lasting Rugs patterns use the same material?

Tile X Design lists several mosaic material categories, so the material should be confirmed for the selected design rather than assumed across the collection.
