COVER: Modern Carpets & Textiles for Interiors is a quarterly magazine focused on the best fine rugs and textiles being designed and made today. COVER also looks at market trends and innovations and examines the role of rugs and textiles in interior design.

COVER 29 (Winter 2012) looks to the future. Trend guru Li Edelkoort talks to us about the Nomadic trend she’s predicting for 2014 and we pick out some inspirational themes. We investigate the thorny issue of design copyright with views from legal as well as industry experts. The latest artist to design rugs is Damien Hirst, we get a private view of his Spin rugs. Unsettling offerings include Mandy Webb’s quilt made of condoms and Kiss the Reichl’s creepy crawlies which emerge from the unpainted areas of old rugs as seen in the cover image: Skorpio. Fashion designers Eley Kishimoto show how adaptable a surface pattern can be, while Jan Kath’s extraordinary Erased Heritage collection shows how traditional designs can be given a contemporary treatment while retaining the integrity of their making. Jurgen Dahlmanns answers 10 questions about his company Rug Star’s ten years in the business whilst wearing a rug over his head. This issue’s product selector jumps on the bandwagon with our choice of rugs in Shades of Grey. No need to hide this from the children.
