New rug brand Sosomo explores Dominican creativity
International Women’s Day 2022: Dominican-born creative Soranyi Soliver launched Sosomo, a rug company now presenting its first creative collaboration with designer Karim RashidDominican Republic native Soranyi Soliver launched her rug brand Sosomo in 2020, transforming her passion for colour and form into contemporarymade by craftsmen locally.
The brand’s first collaborative collection includes pieces by New York-based designer Karim Rashid. The series includes two colourful rugs that merge Sosomo’s penchant for bright chromatic compositions and forms, and Rashid’s sinuous geometries and bold colour choices. A ‘blobular formed rug’, ‘Ikona’ features an undulated edge framed in blue and purple, with an abstract composition at the centre. Its design contains, says Rashid, his five favourite icons: ‘time, body, love, fluid, and blobism’.
More traditionally shaped, ‘Likuid’ is a square white rug featuring different pile heights . Featuring Rashid’s preferred colour palette, the rug is defined by a pattern reminiscent of the 1960s, with shapes in red, orange, yellow, light blue and purple. ‘The amorphous, intertwining forms create a liquid-like, fluid pattern that speaks of softness, minimal yet sensual and warm for any interior,’ says the designer.
