Wabi Sabi Rugs

A wabi sabi rug is texture underfoot before it is pattern. Braided jute that shows its twist, hand-knotted wool with slight variations in the dye, a flatweave kilim whose edges are not perfectly straight because a person wove it.

This collection holds round and rectangular jute rugs, wool and wool-silk hand-knotted carpets in oat, charcoal and undyed tones, vintage-style and Tibetan designs with soft colour, cotton flatweaves for kitchens and halls, and 9 by 12 room-sized pieces for living rooms.

Every listing gives exact size, pile height, construction, hand-knotted, hand-loomed, braided or machine-made, and fibre, along with the backing, so you know what it will feel like and how it will wear. Natural jute and wool are described with their real colour range.

Put a jute rug under a live-edge table from wabi sabi dining tables, or a wool flatweave under a rattan chair from wabi sabi furniture.
