Rugsville Leona Oriental Pink Persian Carpet 5'4" x 7'8"

A studio in continuous conversation with both the kilim weavers of central Anatolia and the post-war European designers who reduced pattern to its essentials. The composition was iterated for months in graphite and gouache before the looms received it.

The classical medallion-and-border composition translated for contemporary domestic use. The pink field anchors the design; the layered borders frame it without crowding. The piece is built for daily use rather than display. The pattern lineage runs from Safavid court carpets through Edwardian drawing-room copies into the contemporary loom-woven format that allows the design to sit comfortably in a working flat.

The fibre

Heat-set polypropylene. The colour is locked at the fibre level by temperature rather than dipped at the surface, which is why direct sunlight does not wash the saturation out the way it bleaches pigment-printed yarns. The fibre resists staining at the molecular level: spilled wine, juice, oil and coffee lift with a damp cloth before they set. The pile stays flat under furniture and does not shed.

The composition

The rug sits as the considered ground of a room rather than the focal motif. Pairs well with walnut, oak, brass, leather, and linen. Pairs poorly with strongly patterned upholstery; the pink field expects to be the only graphic in the composition. The fibre takes light differently from wool: flatter, less glossy, with a more uniform reading across the field, which is part of what makes the engineered yarn well suited to busy rooms.

The piece in a room

5' x 8' (152 x 244 cm). The size suits a medium living room, a primary bedroom under the bed and night tables, or a study set up around a partner desk. The piece tolerates rolling chair traffic, food spills, and weekly vacuuming without showing wear in the way a wool rug at the same price would.

Care

Weekly vacuum on any setting, spot clean as needed with a damp cloth, machine wash cold for stubborn spills. Dries flat in a couple of hours over a clean towel. The fibre does not require professional treatment, does not shed, and does not change colour over time the way a wool rug will. Built for a working room with children, pets, or daily traffic.
