Online Product Review: ABC Carpet Color Reform

by Shira Abel Shvo on November 11, 2009

ABC Carpet & Home in NYC sent us a notice about their new rug concept called Color Reform.

It’s a brilliant idea and the carpets are stunning. They are taking old worn out carpets, neutralizing the color and dyeing them with an over-saturated color, like the fuchsia above.

The carpets were unusable vintage rugs –  unusable because the color had worn out in spots, not because the carpets themselves were worn. Which means the new versions can be used on a wall or a floor. (I checked this and was very pleased to find out that they could still be on a floor.) I would love to have the lime one above in my dining area.

The previous pattern is still peaking through the color saturation, like history winking through.

ABC_Carpet_Color_Reform_Gold_Rug (Small)

The prices start at $799, which I can’t make a comment on as I don’t know rug prices. At the end of the day the value comes from whether you love the piece or not and think it’s worth it.
