Product details
The rug is made of wool, which makes it naturally soil-repellent and hard-wearing.
You can turn the rug and get more wear out of it, as it has the same pattern on both sides.
This rug was made by skilled craftspeople with good working conditions and fair wages at organised weaving centres in India and Bangladesh.
Ideal in your living room or under your dining table since the flat-woven surface makes it easy to pull out the chairs and vacuum.
A perfect companion for all types of flooring, even those with underfloor heating.

Form design process
Made using the pit loom weaving technique
The pit loom, as the name suggests, is positioned over a pit, and the wooden frame is angled for horizontal weaving. The artisan sits underneath the frame, and controls it with foot pedals and their hands, crafting rugs with intricate patterns and designs. This setup enables working from both above and below the frame, achieving a very tight weave. Producing a rug with this technique takes about 2-3 days, resulting in a work of art that can add character to any home.
