Lichen Hand-Knotted Rug
The Lichen rug explores natural degradation and heavily distressed texture. Defined by an organic, mottled surface with weathered patches of muted green, faded blue, and warm earthy tones, it brings a grounded, earthen element to the architecture of a room.
Woven to commission, the piece is hand-knotted using a specific blend of 80% New Zealand wool and 20% bamboo silk. Individual knots are placed by hand onto a vertical warp foundation. The dense, matte weight of the New Zealand wool provides structural depth, while the bamboo silk is woven throughout the distressed pattern, catching the ambient light and bringing a subtle shift to the highly textured surface.
From the careful selection of raw fibre to the final hand-shearing of the pile, the work demands patience. Months in the making, with no shortcuts taken, this piece provides a settled, composed foundation that wears well through decades of daily use.
