Eric Haydel's Carnival Rug Collection Launch Press Preview

 

Eric Haydel, Principal of Eric Haydel Design and current Chapter President of the American Society of Interior Designers New England, is pleased to announce the launch of his Carnival rug line in collaboration with Dover Rug and Home.

The Carnival Rug collection was inspired by Eric’s life experience as a designer. The exclusive line, available only at Dover Rug & Home, showcases a variety of colors, textures and patterns, captured by Eric's personal journey and the essence of the cultural spirit of Louisiana, where he grew up. Each rug is inspired by the Big Easy, with heavy influence from Mardi Gras, transforming them into pieces that could fit into any home, regardless of style.

The three designs: Streetcar, Masquerade and Second Line are available in the standard 8x10 and 9x12 as well as custom sizes by request. Each rug is made of silk and wool and are hand-knotted, making each slightly different.

“I am so excited to finally see this dream become a reality” states Eric. “I am so proud of all the hard work that went into making this collection and I couldn’t have asked for better partners than Dover Rug and Home.”
