This Week’s Top Story

Tim Gosling has collaborated with The Rug Company (320 N. Clark St., therugcompany.com) on a new collection. The London designer recently visited the 20-year-old rug label’s River North showroom to fête his two latest designs, Empire and Deco Border.

“It has that relevance that’s completely and utterly now,” Gosling says of the Empire design, which is also available as a runner. Like the Deco Border design, the Empire is made of hand-knotted Tibetan wool and silk. “Depending which way you walk down it, it becomes a totally different rug design because of the way the silk reflects the light,” Gosling says. “Silk is a remarkable material to use in that context, but to have it in a runner, [it’s] almost like two different runners in one.”

Expanding on his first Art Deco collection with The Rug Company, which drew inspiration from 1930s London and New York, Gosling’s second collection focuses on elements of Roman architecture going into the 1940s. “I [have] spent my life drawing buildings and being submersed in the thought process to understand what really makes them that particular style,” he says. “I’m going to get killed one day—I walk around looking up more than I do actually looking where I’m supposed to be going.”
