The Art of the Loom
Woven by hand in India, every piece is a deliberate balance of warp, weft, and raw fibre. The construction dictates not just the texture of the pile, but how a piece settles into a room and wears over the years that follow.
The Techniques
The construction of a rug determines its pile, its weight, and its longevity. From dense knots to low-profile flatweaves, each technique demands specific knowledge and patience from the weaver.
Hand-Knotted
Knots are placed by hand onto a vertical warp foundation. It is a slow, considered process, often taking months in the making. The resulting pile is dense and structurally resilient, built over time to last decades.
Hand-Tufted
Natural yarn is pushed through a stretched canvas backing using a tufting tool. The piece is then secured with natural latex, hand-finished, and sheared for a uniform, quiet texture.
Flat-Woven
Woven horizontally on traditional looms without a pile backing. The warp and weft are tightly interwoven, resulting in a flat, grounded textile that wears well under heavy daily use.

Consider the Room
Density and Wear
Flat-woven and hand-knotted pieces provide a resilient foundation for dining spaces and entryways where foot traffic is highest. They are made to be lived in.
Pile and Texture
Hand-tufted and high-pile constructions offer a settled, softer finish, providing quiet warmth for bedrooms and low-traffic spaces.
Maintenance
Vacuum regularly with suction only. Clean spills promptly with water and a mild, wool-safe detergent to protect the natural dye and raw fibre.
