The creative Viewpoint rug above was designed by one of Merida’s fine talents, Steven Ho. Steven has worked on the Merida Production Team for the past ten years and now leads the team as the Supervisor. Due to Steven’s rug finishing experience and incredible attention to detail and design, he became the “go to guy” for Viewpoint finishing and has been heavily involved with the program since its introduction.
The rug was created by gluing 12″ squares of Viewpoint patterns together to create a “block-like” rug. Steven developed this rug for use in his children’s playroom, as shown. Below are photos Steven took at each step of the process. We believe the fun, patchwork look fits in other casual room settings as well. We’d also like to give special thanks to Steven’s son Sammy for modeling and making the rug look like so much fun!

Great! You should have shown the binding being attached. I bet that was one of the more tedious steps.
I LOVE this…one of the Merida dealers in South Carolina has a man that picks up discontinued samples and makes patchwork-quilt like rugs…they really are very interesting …he sells them to friends!
WHO is that cute baby?
