San Francisco —

Peking Handicraft’s home décor and giftware division is launching a new collection of rugs designed by artists Kaffe Fassett.

London-based Fassett, who was born in California, uses needlepoint, patchwork, knitting, painting and ceramics in his work. His colorful designs are prolific in textiles.

Peking Handicraft’s new Kaffe Fassett Collection initially comprises five new hook rug designs: Bekah, Tuscan Squares, Broken Dishes, Bargello Red & Blue, and Bargello Stone.

Each rug is available in two sizes – 34-inch-by-47-inch and 4-by-6. Suggested retails are set at $110 or $290 for a 4-by-6. Peking Handicraft will roll out other coordinating product categories for the collection later this year.
