The Tortuga Rug is a handmade, tortoise-shaped statement piece crafted from 100% natural abaca fiber by award-winning studio Charlap Hyman & Herrero, recognized with the 2026 Natio nal 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 Tortuga transforms a beloved natural specimen into a bold graphic floor piece. Every limb and intricate shell detail is hand-coiled by skilled artisans, delivering a fun, punchy aesthetic that's equal parts sculptural art and functional design. Show more
