Karl Jules Rug
The Karl Jules Rug from Novogratz is a hand-woven, Memphis-inspired design that brings bold shapes, pops of color, and a delightfully nubby texture to any interior. Crafted from a blend of eighty percent wool and twenty percent cotton, this black-based rug features a mix of geometric forms in unexpected color combinations that feel simultaneously retro and thoroughly contemporary — a design that rewards both quick glances and longer, more curious looks.
The hand-woven construction gives Karl Jules its most compelling quality: a varied, multi-weave texture that creates a rich, artisanal surface across the rug. The mix of high and low pile sections creates visual and tactile depth, making the pattern feel more complex and interesting than a single-pile construction would allow. At 0.4 inches of average pile height, the surface is substantial without being so thick as to be impractical in high-use spaces.
Memphis design — the Italian postmodern movement that celebrated bold geometry, unexpected color, and a joyful rejection of "good taste" — is a recurring influence in the Novogratz family's design philosophy. Karl Jules channels that spirit with warmth and wit, delivering a rug that is clearly inspired by a bold design movement while remaining thoroughly compatible with the eclectic, family-friendly interiors the brand is celebrated for creating.
Available from runners through large area rugs, Karl Jules pairs beautifully with mid-century modern furniture, colorful upholstery, mixed-material coffee tables, and the kind of collected, personality-driven interiors where design rules are treated as suggestions rather than mandates. It is a rug for people who take design seriously enough to have a sense of humor about it, and who believe that home should reflect who you actually are.
