ClassiCon FAUBOURG Square handmade New Zealand virgin wool rug

Eileen Gray not only created some of the most iconic 20th century furniture classics but also ran a studio where rugs were produced based on her designs.‎ Some of her most beautiful designs are part of the rug collection by ClassiCon.‎ Based on a gouache by Eileen Gray from the 1920s, Faubourg is the epitome of minimalism: set against a square, natural white background, three simple black lines create an exciting dynamic.‎ Two curved lines provide a reference to Eileen Gray's furniture designs – for example, to the iconic Adjustable Table E1027 – in which circles and curves are recurring motifs.‎ An angled line running along one edge of the rug forms an effective contrast to the circular motif.‎ The name of the Faubourg Rug was inspired by the location of Gray's studio on Rue de Faubourg St.‎ Honoré in Paris.‎ Rug made of 100% New Zealand virgin wool or 100% Nepalese nettle, hand-spun.‎ Hand-woven with 80 knots per square inch (6.‎45 cm²).‎ Environmentally friendly colour pigments, tested according to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100.‎ Low-maintenance, suitable for vacuum cleaners.‎ Natural materials combined with handmade production techniques give each rug its own character.‎ Colour variations and Dimensional tolerances of +/- 5 cm are possible.‎ Further info from manufacturer on FAUBOURG ClassiCon
