Karastan Introduces New Series Of
Revolutionary contemporary design
in a series of Accent rugs, three addi
tions to the American Casual group of
cotton carpets, and two new colors in
broadloom were prominent in the new
line of Karastan rugs first introduced at
the Chicago Home Furnishings Show
and featured for this fall season.
In addition to the modern designs,
the new lines includes three new Amer
ican power-loomed Oriental design
rugs, one each in the Karastan, Lana-
mar' and Tudor qualities.
The modern Accent rugs are designed
to meet an obvious need to small rugs
with contemporary styling. They serve
to focus attention or occasionally to re
lieve the tedium of the inanimate plain
carpet, to protect traveled areas or to
highlight foyers, halls and other small
areas.
Authentic tartans and soft-toned ab
stract pattern are the two design di
rections of the modern Accent rugs.
Brilliant colors feature the Tartans
which come in Henderson (predomi
nately green) and MacGregor (predom
inately red) clan plaid motifs.
One traditional oval pattern also has
been introduced. It has a light green
ground, with a natural and dark green
floral center piece, and is bordered in
natura-colored fringe. A rectangular
Accent with a traditional hooked rug
pattern has a natural background, with
a black scroll border and a floral design
in the center. Accent rugs are available
in three sizes, 27” x 45,” 3’ x 5’ and
4’6” X 6’.
