Nourison is adding a modern twist to one of its most popular wool hand-knotted rug collections.

Nourison updated its Tahoe Collection for 2013 with several new rugs. The new collection, aptly named Tahoe Modern, will feature modern interpretations of animal patterning, painterly crosshatching, fanciful fleurs-de-lis, vivid ikat designs and more.

"We have made the rugs more contemporary through the use of color, absence of borders, and cleaner lines while still maintaining the overall feel of this popular collection," said Joyce Lowe, executive director of Nourison's rug division.

The company said Tahoe Modern's unusual yet harmonious color combinations reflect today's home fashion trends.

Tahoe Modern will be on display in Nourison's showroom this summer at Space 3F2 of the Merchandise Mart at the Atlanta Rug Market, July 11-14, and World Market Center space C-112 at the Las Vegas Market, July 29-Aug. 2).

Tahoe Modern is hand-made in India of 100% wool and available in 2-foot-3 by 8 foot runner, 3-foot-9 by 5-foot-9, 5-foot-6 by 8-foot-6, 7-foot-9 by 9-foot-9, 8-foot-6 by 11-foot-6 and 9-foot-9 by 13-foot-9.
