Welcome Back Peace Industry ®
Yes, it’s true! I have relaunched my legendary Peace Industry ® rugs to Bay Area and US collectors with a group of both new and classic designs. My new techniques showcase saturated colors and bold geometric patterns in luxuriously soft New Zealand wool. Peace Industry ® supports women designers and artisans! Our collective is 100% woman owned and operated. Our felt studio is located in Kathmandu, Nepal. Our all woman team of felt artisans learned to make Peace Industry ® rugs during a residency with me in their Kathamndu felt making studio in 2024. We are now ready to accept custom orders. -Melina

Fuller
The Fuller rug, designed by Melina Finkelstein, was launched in 2004 at Domotex. Named after Buckminster Fuller, it is one of the most popular Peace Industry® designs. The design evokes a reflection of light through a window and it looks best against a darker field. We recommend sticking to a neutral palette when ordering a custom Fuller.

Matrix
The Matrix, by Melina Finkelstein, launched in 2011. It was inspired by a silver pitcher that was in my home when I lived in Turkey. The field of ‘Y’s is a universal pattern that is found in many cultures! My version is intentionally asymmetrical which is part of my overall rug design ethos.

Spill
The Spill rug, designed by Melina Finkelstein, launched in 2003 with the very first collections. The rows of rounded commas or leaf shapes began as a doodle on a scrap of paper when Peace Industry® was located in Inverness Park, Ca. This design looks great in a neutral or vibrant palette.
