among the layers
where rich wool marries soft silk
deep beauty resides

These silk and wool rugs command rapt attention. With their intricate and utterly unique textures, they echo the power of time-worn frescoes. By painstakingly creating varying pile heights of silk and wool, our artisans have deconstructed the essence of beauty and conjured a collection that stands above and apart.

Perfect for sophisticated city dwellers, and urban style rug provide the ultimate for cosmopolitan living – with nods to contemporary, modern and industrial influences, this elevated design style stands on its own. Always en vogue thanks to its common emphasis on comfort and inspiration from glamorous city life urban rugs also makes for a savvy route to create your own oasis in the city.

Urban style rugs are also great for an industrial loft or modern apartment overlooking the rooftops of the city in iconic fashion. Think of commanding spaces that take full advantage of architectural drama realized with visionary furniture and stunning decor.

Fresco rugs are a key element in urban modern interior design understood to be both contemporary and industrial at their essence, but not as aggressive as popular ultra-modern or tech inspired industrial design. Urban and industrial scenes conjure up images of concrete and asphalt - hard dispassionate surfaces - yet urban fresco rugs have a softer side to them, from colors warm to cool, urban rugs define interior decorating in the city where equal attention is given both to comfort and functionally brilliant design.

Urban fresco rugs are all about creating a soothing and peaceful yet gloriously decorated home featuring a lived-in sense of charm for everyday living. Use urban style rugs to pull a room together with cosmopolitan influence, while keeping it warm and inviting at the same time try fresco rugs with minimal features softened by plush piles of wool and silk. Fresco rugs can be used to keep your home feeling more playful, unique, and intoxicating in ways that ultra-modern and industrial design rugs cannot accomplish.

woven history
abstracted and recombined
timeless stories told

we find the purest beauty
only nature will do

proudly stripped bare
weathered yet infinite
awaiting your embrace

Each piece in this collection celebrates the elements of its construction and composition by introducing them as the art itself. Pile is skillfully removed to reveal the knots themselves and the foundation of warp and weft that supports them, and upon which they are tied. The result is carpets that captivate with infinite complexity; the pure expression of the multitude of human hands that created them.

golden fields of winter wheat
nature threads this needle
