Design

The design features a bold, oversized checkerboard pattern that plays with geometry and contrast. The sharp transition between black and white squares gives the rug a contemporary feel that works well in a variety of modern interior settings.

The irregular shape of the rug adds an unexpected twist to the classic checkerboard motif, making it feel more organic and less rigid. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate clean lines and impactful, graphic design.

This rug is hand-tufted by skilled artisans who bring years of experience to every piece they create. The process involves punching Wool yarn into a backing, a technique that allows for the precise, clean lines seen in this bold checkerboard design.

Creating a rug of this size and complexity requires significant time and focus from dedicated craftspeople. Each square is carefully placed to ensure the pattern remains crisp and consistent, reflecting the human effort and dedication that goes into every single rug.

By choosing a hand-tufted rug, you are supporting traditional skills and ensuring that your home features a unique, carefully made item. The combination of high-quality Wool and expert construction results in a durable product that maintains its appearance and comfort for years.

Maintenance

To prevent shading and uneven wear, frequently rotate your rug.
Use a conventional hoover instead of a robotic cleaner to prevent any damage to the rug.
If you discover a loose thread on your rug, use scissors to gently cut it off. Avoid pulling the thread to prevent damage.
You may notice some shedding on your rug - this is completely normal and a sign of its high-quality natural fibres. The shedding will gradually lessen over time and does not affect the rug’s quality or lifespan. Regular hoovering with gentle suction and occasional brushing will help manage loose fibres and keep your rug looking beautiful for years to come.

Installation

Fold marks may occur during transport. This is not a manufacturing defect and is easy to remedy. Simply turn your rug over, roll it tightly, and leave it for a few hours. Finally, lay out your rug and wait a few days until your rug lays flat against the floor.
As you unpack your new rug, you may notice a slight smell, which is due to the rug being tightly packed during transport. This is normal and will go away after a few days.
Make sure your floor is completely dry before placing the rug.
Please be aware that trapped dirt, dust, or dampness under a rug may cause marks or scratches on sensitive floors.

Care instructions

Do this

Address spills promptly to minimize staining. Blot the affected area gently with a damp, undyed cloth—never rub, as this may embed the stain further into the fibers. Protect the floor beneath the rug by ensuring it's properly covered during the cleaning process.
We recommend that you use Rugvista Stain Remover for this type of rug.
For hard-to-remove stains, we recommend you contact a professional rug cleaner.

Avoid this

Do not wash
Do not bleach.
Do not tumble dry.
Do not iron.
