High-pile wool rug 100% wool with cotton backing High pile (.6” or 15 mm thick) As with all hand-knotted plush pile rugs, expect shedding in the first few months Slight variations in size due to handmade nature The Collection Soft and simple contemporary rugs, the Ladder Collection is truly striking in person. Our design team played into the linear quality of the weave with simple border designs, allowing the yarn’s colorful abrash to shine. Rugs with design details along their kilim or selvedge edges (the long sides, not the top and bottom) are perfect for dining rooms, because if you put a table in the middle, the edge detail still shines. Woven with a hand-tufting technique which creates distinct horizontal lines, these rugs are inspired by Roland Fischer's photo series 'Facades', which studies the graphic patterns that emerge on the front of skyscrapers when viewed closely. The Design These pieces have a dappled off-white field bordered by simple linework on the long edges. Purlin’s edge detail is columnar, and its richly saturated color is interrupted by linework. The Material Wool is a stalwart rug fiber, and has been since the first weavers. Warm, soft, and strong, it has a hydrophobic layer which repels dust and dirt, as well as lanolin, which provides its trademark luster and protects the fiber from breaking or shedding. In this piece, it’s hand-tufted onto a cotton foundation for durability. The Maker Our Good Weave-certified partner began 15 years ago in Mirzapur, India. Prizing honesty, transparency, and ethical practices, they’re passionate about the rugs they create, guaranteeing high quality and innovation. The Designer Our in-house, all-star design team works across Los Angeles, Istanbul, and Mumbai. Starting with the weave itself, they determine the collection material, technique, and mood. When designs are finalized, they conduct an extensive sampling process, perfecting each style and hue before it goes to production. Clean regularly with a non-rotary, low powered vacuum, preferably without a beater brush Rotate your rug on occasion to ensure even wear over time Keep away from excessive moisture Do not dry clean or steam clean Professional cleaning recommended as needed In case of spills, use a paper towel or cloth to blot the liquid. Add some clean water sparingly to the spot to dilute the stain (or wet a paper towel or cloth) and blot. If the stain is persistent, try using a mild detergent. Repeat this process until the stain is removed.
