Wool is a practical natural material that usually comes from sheep. The raw wool is washed and then spun into yarn. Wool rugs have many advantages. They're soft, warm and comfortable to walk on, and they're also very hardwearing. They're stain-resistant too, because wool has it own natural oil. This means that dirt stays on the surface and doesn't penetrate into the rug. All wool rugs shed - some more, some less - vacuum them regularly to prevent the loose fibres from scattering.

Our rugs are different, just like every home. Each one is handmade by skilled artisans using their special weaving technique where the natural materials with different textures, patterns and colours create an authentic feel. These are limited-edition rugs where the design and style are updated frequently. So choose the one that suits your home best and enjoy a unique work of art that can withstand wear and tear for many years.

Hand knotting is a complex process that gives unique, long-lasting rugs. A skilled weaver ties individual knots tightly around pairs of threads to form an intricate pattern. After completing each row, the weaver compacts the knots with a comb or beater. The process is repeated until the rug is completed, which takes 15-20 days, depending on the complexity of the design. Hand knotting creates one-of-a-kind rugs, with intricate patterns that are unmatched by any other technique.

“I took inspiration for the design of AXHAVREN rug from the organic shapes found in street art and graffiti. The mix of high and low piles creates an elegant expression with a playful twist that catches the eye. Also, it is hand-knotted from 100% wool, which contributes to a luxurious feel and quality that withstands many years of wear."
