DALTON, GA – Created for today’s most sophisticated modern fabrics and accessories, Shaw Living’s ModernWorks is the company’s latest artistic expression for the floor. The new collection includes more than 40 rugs. Captivating designs include over-scaled damasks, clean-lined geometrics, circles and animal prints, as well as early 20th century retro moderns, providing something for virtually every style or preference.

Recognizing the infatuation of today’s consumers with accessories, from accent pillows to fabrics to window and wall treatments to bedding, the new collection was created to complement and showcase today’s casually elegant decors. The inviting colorways include the best of today’s hot colors from blacks, grays, tinted neutrals and earthen browns to great color combinations like black and white, as well as blue and brown.

Made of EverTouch™ nylon, Shaw’s revolutionary branded carpet fiber, ModernWorks rugs feature a wonderfully soft hand, yet are exceptionally durable. The fine denier filament fiber offers lasting resilience, ideal for any residential setting. Rugs in the ModernWorks collection include:

Delphine is a classical and elegant jacobean with a modern spirit. It is available in several bold color combinations including the ever popular black and white.

Fusion is based on a bridge of organic and geometric influences. The use of color to create contrast defines the shape and adds movement to the design.

Nova uses texture with pattern and composition of geometric shapes to give a distinctive contemporary appeal.

Spellbound is a simplified and modernized interpretation of the classic scroll with tonal color combinations that support the modern direction of this traditional motif.

Suggested retail for a 5'5" x 7'9" is $589.00
