The Soul of the Piece
A circle has no beginning and no end, which is why weavers have always trusted it with their wishes. This roundel radiates from its centre like ripples in still water, red and blue and green moving outward to the fringe.
Material Reverence
What it is made of
A rug is only as noble as its fibre. We treat our materials the way a tailoring house treats cashmere: sourced with care, handled by hand, never hurried.
