Discover a tone-on-tone jacquard woven in pure wool

This 200 x 300 cm rug is made from 100% wool and patterned with a single-coloured jacquard design: one shade throughout, with the motif emerging only through the way the weave is constructed. Where the pile is dense the surface reads darker; where it is cropped the light bounces back. The effect is deliberately quiet, giving a large floor area something to hold the eye without introducing a competing colour into a room that already has timber, plaster and textile at work.

The construction brings practical benefits as well. Wool is hypoallergenic, so it does not create the environment that troubles many allergy sufferers, and it is a genuinely insulating fibre: the crimped structure traps air, which is why a wool rug feels warm underfoot on a tiled or concrete floor and helps damp the echo in a sparsely furnished room. Both qualities suit open, minimally dressed Japandi interiors.

A handmade piece in a traditional natural fabric

Each rug is a handmade piece worked in a traditional natural fabric, which is the reason no two are alike. Shades vary slightly from batch to batch because the fleece itself varies, and the texture carries the small inconsistencies of hand work. Rather than a defect, this is the visible difference between a woven wool rug and a printed synthetic one, and it becomes more apparent the longer the piece is lived with.

As a natural material, the rug will release some fibre during its first few weeks. Hoovering removes it and the shedding then settles down. Beyond that, upkeep is straightforward: lift spills promptly by blotting rather than rubbing, since wool sheds moisture before it absorbs it, and rotate the rug so that sun and traffic do not concentrate at one end. At 200 x 300 cm it is large enough to sit beneath a full seating group, with the jacquard texture still visible around the furniture.
