ALFREDO PAREDES

Alfredo Paredes perfected his taste as chief creative officer at Ralph Lauren, where he brought supreme sophistication and cinematic flair to spaces like the Polo Bar and the company’s Madison Avenue flagship. 

His first collection for Patterson Flynn leans into his Cuban heritage and Miami roots, creating pieces that feel deeply personal. Handmade from beginning to end and endlessly customizable, the rugs prize authentic materials with soul and depth (think goat hair, handspun silk, hand-dyed mohair) and show off Paredes’ instinctive feel for the interplay of textures and tones.

Each pattern has a distinctive artistic dimension inspired by everything from vintage book covers to classic menswear, and each colorway is given special consideration—the construction, finish, and dying techniques are all changed up to best enhance the palette. Like Paredes himself, the rugs are handsome and glamorous yet grounded in an earthy realness, with the feel of cherished pieces carefully curated by someone with a distinct point of view.
