Textural elements in rugs can transform a room, adding a new dimension to a minimal or monochromatic colour palette, or providing a fresh take on a bold colour scheme by mixing materials, pile heights or techniques.

This collection of hand-knotted rugs employs hemp, silk, and other materials to create a layered, textured appearance, accompanied by a traditional abrash technique, which uses hand-dyed Tibetan wool from small vats to provide interesting colour variations. The different elements combine to create one-of-a-kind finishes, bringing subtle contrast and an authentic look and feel.

The tactile qualities of this hand tufted New Zealand wool and bamboo rug originate in the mix of the materials paired with different pile heights. Called stippling, this technique creates soft transitions that feel relaxed and organic, enhancing the rug’s ability to blend with various interior styles. The luxurious underfloor feel of wool is combined with bamboo silk, a lustrous fibre that creates incredible highlights and lowlights that emphasise the intricate details of the rug’s design.

The textural elements of this elegant rug are created using sculpted carving to construct the rolls instead of mixing different materials. Hand-tufted in exquisite and hard-wearing New Zealand wool, this design uses stippling between the rolls to create subtle gradients in the colour, giving the illusion of texture, while keeping the pile surface sumptuously soft and luxurious.
