Rug and decorative accessories supplier Surya will unveil the Kate Spain collection of rugs and coordinating pillows at the upcoming High Point Market.

Known for her use of sun-drenched color and motifs with a hand-drawn aesthetic, the designs for Kate's first collaboration with Surya explore a diverse range of global influences.

"The intrinsic nature of this collection is new, organic forms - spun from vibrant ancient cultures and places," Spain said. "The designs in the Alhambra hand-tufted and Marseille flat-weave collections take inspiration from a variety of different sources. Some of the designs evolved from my pottery work in Spanish majolica and a love for ceramic tiles patterns from both the old and new worlds. Other pieces were born from the explosive colors and ikat patterns found in the vibrant woven arts of the Central Andes."

Market visitors are invited to join Spain and the Surya team in celebrating the launch of this spirited new collection during the Designer Spotlight event, beginning at 2 p.m. Sunday, April 21 in Surya's Showplace 4100 showroom.

"Kate Spain's new collection harmoniously blends the serenity of nature with the bold colors and patterns of diverse global cultures," said Satya Tiwari, Surya president. "She delivers a uniquely modern sensibility to the range, with a show-stopping palette that I know our retailers and the design community will love."
