Indigo is a rug inspired by ancient Japanese Kasuri and the tribal geometries of African art. Carpet with an antique charm, like the name it bears, with natural colors in soft and vibrant tones.
Made with manual tealio, 70% New Zealand wool, 20% linen and 10% cotton with a shaved wool fleece finish. Customizable size and color. Not suitable for outdoor use.
The technique used for pile rugs consists in intersecting the longitudinal threads (spectrum) with the transversal threads (weft). The yarn is stretched onto the loom to create a tight warp. Working from the bottom upwards, the artisans weave the weft, creating various patterns and textures. To create the “pile”, the fibre is wound around a special shaft during the weaving process and cut to ensure it is the same height. The backing to the pile is in cotton and holds the framework of the rug together. The final effect is a soft, supple rug.
