L: Somoroff���s photograph; R: Rug from The Stephanie Odegard Collection
book of Somoroff���s vegetable skin photographs. She
immediately thought ���these are fabulous and I���d love
to reproduce them as carpets.��� And so she did.
Odegard���s transcendental translations of the original
photographs into majestic Himalayan woven rugs are
mesmerizing. They are warmly complex; sophisticated
and painterly and well suited for many design projects.
These rugs could stand alone as the aria of a sleek,
contemporary interior, or serve as a strong voice in a
more traditional or eclectic interior cantata. H

Somoroff, visit their upcoming March show at Munich���s Bohmler shop.
