" Eight years ago, Madeline Weinrib debuted her line of vibrantly colored rugs, pillows, fabrics, and home accessories with a small boutique inside ABC Carpet &amp;amp;amp; Home, her family&amp;#039;s emporium on New York&amp;#039;s Broadway. Her contemporary riffs on traditional ethnic motifs quickly became a cult favorite with decorators and fashionistas. Now she&amp;#039;s branching out with her own space: a showroom on lower Fifth Avenue that serves as a laboratory for design and a launching pad for the more luxurious textiles that represent the couture end of her business.  Weinrib has turned a second-floor loft near Union Square into a salon-like atelier filled with her own designs and outfitted with art, furniture, and objects culled from her travels. In the entrance&amp;#039;s sitting area, used for consultations, chairs by Gio Ponti and Arne Jacobsen upholstered in Weinrib&amp;#039;s fabrics are paired with a fluffy angora Tulu rug that she produces in Turkey. In the &amp;quot;color library,&amp;quot; vintage Thai bowls hold yarn samples in cashmere, cotton, and wool, while a wall is lined with Lucite drawers that contain fabric swatches in every possible hue. A pile of African-inspired rugs from Weinrib&amp;#039;s newest collection adds graphic punch to the loft&amp;#039;s worn plank floor.  Weinrib was determined to make her atelier available to the public, by appointment\u2014unlike traditional design showrooms, which are accessible only to the trade. &amp;quot;My friends and I don&amp;#039;t use decorators,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;We do our own interior design. I didn&amp;#039;t want to shut them or anyone else out.&amp;quot;  The French jewelry designer Marie-H\u00E9l\u00E8ne de Taillac visited the showroom recently to consult with Weinrib on the design of a carpet for her soon-to-open boutique in New York. &amp;quot;Anyone who is working on a project can come up and talk to me about an idea,&amp;quot; Weinrib says. &amp;quot;You can order one of my rugs but alter the palette, or do something completely unique. I really hope people will feel free to poke around.&amp;quot;  Click here to see the gallery for &amp;quot;Worldly Goods.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
