Last fall, Cold Picnic launched a rug collection with an incredibly fun look-book diorama inspired by the founders' own California dreams and very real New York railroad apartment. With the newest launch, the brand is back at it again with tiny versions of its colorful rugs in a glam little setting.
Delicate Matters celebrates new elevated materials—the finest and longest fibers of New Zealand wool—with subdued glamour. Taking inspiration from the 1980 crime drama American Gigolo (a movie the design duo loves despite its flaws), the diorama house serves as a perfect backdrop—a palace of excess—for the debut of the beautiful, vibrantly colored wool yarn that will be used for all hand-tufted rugs going forward.
“Because the film isn’t just beautiful, though it is that. It is truly stylish, poised between perfectionism and effortlessness,” say Cold Picnic’s founders in a statement. “Yes, it’s dated (you may want to do yourself a favor and google Richard Gere’s exercise scene), but only because nothing seems quite so glamorous anymore.”
Check out the collection as it is, surrounded by silver and gold, velvet and fur, in its miniature iteration. Then go buy one for your own human-size palace.
