Description

A pale silver-grey and cool off-white ground carries large hexagonal and multi-sided forms drawn in near-black compressed channels across the full field. The forms are oversized, with only four or five cells visible across the width, giving each one generous interior space. A dark charcoal border frames the full perimeter. The close-up pile reveals a high, dense surface with the channel lines sitting deeply recessed against the elevated field.

A note on the dye

Madder root, soaked five days, simmered three.

The red you see in the field is not one red. It is seven dye lots, each pulled at a slightly different hour from the same copper vat,the variation lives only in the wool, never in the recipe.

Bring the room into the rug - never the other way around.

A rug is sized to read once, in full, as you walk past it. The longer sizes tell a different story across a whole room.

Questions you'd want to ask.

Plain answers about the wool, the loom, and what the rug does over years of use.

Cell · the asked & answered
How do the deep recessed channel lines hold their definition in a high-pile surface under regular use?

The near-black channels are compressed into the pile base, with the high pile walls on either side forming the visible line. Over time, the pile walls can lean into the channels under foot pressure, softening the line width. Vacuuming slowly across the channel direction, rather than along it, helps keep the pile walls upright. Professional cleaning once a year restores full pile height and keeps the channel depth reading clearly.

Does the oversized hexagonal cell structure require a specific room size to read as intended?

The large cell scale reads best when at least two full cells are visible from a primary seated position, which means the rug needs open floor space beyond the furniture edges. The 10x14 gives the geometry its best reading in a generous living room. In a 9x12, the composition still works but the cells appear closer to the room's boundaries. Rooms with open plan layouts or high ceilings benefit most from this scale of design.

How does this pale high-pile surface perform in a room that receives strong direct sun?

Blended fibre rugs in pale tones can show subtle fading over time in areas of prolonged direct sun exposure. Rotating the rug every twelve months distributes any fading evenly across the full field, preventing one zone from lightening faster than the rest. Using sheer window treatments reduces UV exposure without eliminating natural light. Professional cleaning helps maintain the evenness of the pale ground tone over years of use.
