Rugsville Hedi Beige Floral Persian Carpet 5'3" x 7'8"

The Persian asymmetric knot, also called the Senneh knot, wraps a single warp and emerges between two, allowing finer detail than the symmetric Turkish knot at the cost of a marginally less stable foundation. The neutral palette is the current edit of that long vocabulary.

The studio worked the design in graphite and ink for three to four months before approving it for production, the cartoon then translated into the digital file the loom reads as a colour-by-position grid. The colour relationships were tested across multiple proofs to confirm that the beige would hold its weight against both warm and cool ambient light. The piece reads consistently in north-facing rooms and in rooms lit by warm incandescent at evening.

The fibre

Heat-set polypropylene as the working fibre. The colour is set into the yarn at the moment of extrusion under temperature, which is why direct sunlight does not bleach the saturation over years and why most household spills lift with a damp cloth. The piece is built to absorb the kinds of incidents a hand-knotted rug cannot, in the rooms a hand-knotted rug should not be put. The design language carries through; the maintenance demands do not.

The composition

The composition reads in beige with a secondary movement in tonal contrast. The pattern is built to give a room a considered ground without claiming ownership of it, and the synthetic fibre means the saturation does not lift over years of direct sun the way a wool pile gradually does.

The piece in a room

At 5'3" × 7'8" (160 × 234 cm) the rug carries an open-plan living area or a bedroom with the bed positioned across it so the rug shows on three sides. The pile is dense enough to feel underfoot and shallow enough that doors clear without dragging.

Care

Vacuum weekly. Spot clean with mild detergent on a clean cloth. Machine wash on a cold 30°C cycle if a spill resists spot cleaning, then air dry flat. No professional cleaning required at any point in the working life of the rug.
