A new wave of expressive interior design is arriving underfoot with DiscoRectangle, the latest hand-tufted rug collection by interior designer Sam Buckley in collaboration with Italian rug maker cc-tapis.
The collection embraces a confident “more-is-more” philosophy, translating abstract geometry and the vibrant pulse of dance culture into immersive, color-drenched floor pieces.
Geometry Meets Energy
At the heart of the collection is the “discorectangle” — also known as a stadium or pill shape — which serves as the defining architectural motif. Across four rugs and a runner, large graphic forms stack and overlap in compositions that feel both structured and fluid.
Each piece is handcrafted in Himalayan wool, providing depth, texture, and durability that match the visual intensity of the designs. The precision of the shapes is balanced by a dynamic interplay of color, creating rugs that function as both art objects and functional interior anchors.
A Palette That Dares
Color is central to DiscoRectangle’s identity. Bright tones of yellow, pink, mint, and blue interact with deeper hues of green, brown, and burgundy, forming layered palettes that feel energetic yet grounded.
Buckley draws inspiration from dance music culture, collectible design, historic craft traditions, and European heraldic color schemes. The result is a visual language that is playful yet sophisticated — surreal in composition but rooted in design history.

Five Distinct Expressions
The collection is offered in several variations, each exploring Buckley’s geometric vocabulary differently:
- DiscoRectangle Maxi delivers the boldest statement, pairing sweeping stadium shapes with vibrant mint, blue, and pink, accented by yellow and burgundy.
- DiscoRectangle Mini condenses the same rhythmic composition into a more compact format.
- Disco Ball adopts a circular layout, introducing softer curves and a lighter, whimsical tone.
- Disco Runner elongates the design into a streamlined format suitable for corridors and transitional spaces.
- cc-tapis’s craftsmanship ensures that the saturated colors remain crisp, deep, and vividly articulated, reinforcing the collection’s high-impact aesthetic.
Beyond the Rug
For Sam Buckley — an architectural technologist, curator, interior designer, and DJ educated in Edinburgh and Milan — DiscoRectangle represents an ongoing exploration of geometry and color that extends beyond rugs into furniture and interior objects.
The collaboration merges Buckley’s multidisciplinary creative vision with cc-tapis’s artisanal expertise, striking a balance between maximalist expression and thoughtful design execution.
In an era when interiors often lean toward neutrality, DiscoRectangle proposes something different: that bold color and confident geometry can reshape how a space feels — injecting warmth, movement, and personality from the ground up.
With this collection, the message is clear: sometimes, more color truly means more life
