Founder James Tufenkian launched his Tides rug to be a lighthearted riff on traditional stripes. Shown in the Autumn colorway, the rug is premade in standard sizes using hand-knotted variegated wool yarn by Tibetans in Nepal. Customizing is also available. 919 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10022; 877-851-5446; tufenkiancarpets.com.
