The Ruggable X Monica Ahanonu collection aims to break the mold of traditional home decor and create uniquely beautiful spaces full of optimism

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE )--Ruggable, the first patented machine-washable rug brand, and recognized artist, illustrator, and model Monica Ahanonu, announced today the launch of an all-new rug collection focused on empowerment and breaking the mold of traditional home decor. Inspired by accessible design and washable innovation — the core tenants of Ruggable — Ahanonu partners with Ruggable to bring her unique passion and artistic style into the home. The collection ​​is her first foray into the home-design space and includes 8 pieces, inclusive of indoor and outdoor rugs.

As a leader in the digital space for Black artists, Ahanonu’s art shines the limelight on diverse cultures, industries, and backgrounds encouraging inclusivity and equity. This collaboration pushes the limits of what is possible in design and decor, praising optimism, light, and energy.

“Monica Ahanonu is a renowned artist and pioneer and shares a similar bold vision as our brand, which is why we’re thrilled to collaborate together on her first-ever home-design collection. Her signature style, daring color combinations, and celebration of diverse beauty is inspiring and we are honored to welcome her incredible talents into our Ruggable lineup,” said Jeneva Bell, Ruggable Founder and President.

“The inspiration for my collection with Ruggable came from the details all around me in nature and from thinking about how color in a space can affect people's energy throughout the day,” said Monica Ahanonu, Artist, Illustrator, and Model. “This ties into my existing work as I am always playing around with colors and shapes, even when doing portrait pieces or illustrations with characters, there is still a large focus on the colors and shape language in each piece. I truly believe that color and light affect your mood and how you go about your day and I hope our rug collection brings happiness to the Ruggable community.”

In an effort to embrace Ahanonu’s ethos to unlock possibilities and celebrate the new collection, Ruggable will be making a donation to Project Glimmer, the non-profit on a mission to build self-confidence in adolescent girls.

The Ruggable X Monica Ahanonu collection, which joins previous successful collaborations including Jonathan Adler, Nina Takesh, and Keith Haring, is now available for purchase on www.ruggable.com in the US, UK, and Germany with prices starting at $109 (USD).
