Wool rug 170×230 red Irokez

Pattern

The saturated red-brick field lies smooth and tonal, with a slight play of shades like sun-faded clay. It is crossed by thin copper-gold lines that are neither parallel nor straight but bend a little, like a map of city blocks or a window frame floating in the air. The lines differ from the field in texture, so in light they stand out more and the pattern shifts with the angle of view. There is no border: the design runs right to the edge of the rug.

Wool, made by hand

The rug is made by hand from wool. The even pile is pleasant underfoot and easy to vacuum. There is no fringe: the edge is neatly finished.

Where it goes

At 170×230 cm (about 3.9 m²) it is a rug for the side of a bed, for a study under the desk and chair, or for a seating area in front of a sofa. A solid red-brick colour fits modern interiors that want one strong accent: grey and graphite walls, concrete, pale wood, black metal. More modern designs are in modern rugs and exclusive rugs.

Care

For everyday care a vacuum without a turbo brush is enough: run it along the lines so as not to snag their texture. Blot spills with a dry white cloth without rubbing. Red fades in direct sun, so do not leave the rug at an unshaded window, and turn it once a year.
