Need Help Finding Japanese Pattern Rug

7 years ago

Hello,

I love japanese patterns in general and fell in love with a rug on a website (dwellstudio.com) which was used as a prop for their kids furniture... I called dwell studio and they told me they would not know where to locate this prop.

Here is a link to their page (this is for the rug pictured at bottom):

Japanese Pattern Rug

Anyone who would recognize this rug, know where it can be purchased or guide me in the right direction?

Much much appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Stephanie.

After some googling it is Asa no ha pattern which seems to be a traditional geometric fabric pattern (wagara) in Japan.

Also just for cuteness...

Shichi go san

Do you have any of the original carpet left over. When we got new carpeting there was some left over and we had the carpet company bind it and put it in the foyer.

Also isn't it more of a Moorish design and not Japanese ...

Star of David's to me.

Years ago I had a vinyl floor made out of that pattern. It was wonderful.

I have not seen or found something like it anywhere.... So that rug is particularly interesting. Did you try contacting Dwell? Surely there advertisers would be thrilled to know someone is looking for an item...

Wow - Huge Thank you to Robo and Fun2Bhere! So very much appreciated. I actually saw this pattern quite often in Japan, but of course it can be seen differently. This is the beauty of design! :o)

Practigal: I did call dwellstudio, and they told me it was a prop and did not have further info...

Once again, thank you! Love this houzz community! You made my day!
