Make a grand statement with the Ballena Rug - a whale-shaped, handmade masterpiece crafted from 100% natural abaca fiber by the acclaimed studio Charlap Hyman & Herrero, winner of the 2026 National Design Award for Interior Design by the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum. Part of a collaboration between Charlap Hyman & Herrero and Patterson Flynn. Inspired by 17th-century cabinets of curiosity, the Ballena delivers big personality in striking black-and-natural tones. Hand-coiled by skilled artisans, this whimsical whale-shaped rug captures a playfully woeful expression and a sense of irresistible, floor-level charm. A sculptural conversation piece as bold as its namesake. Show more
