Custom Hart – Alfred

Description

Hart is an elegant, flexible flatweave jute rug, which looks as good alone as it does layered underneath another rug (or two). 

• 100% natural, unbleached jute
• Flatweave (1.5cm thick)
• Dimensions:
  7′ x 12’3″
• Fibers are hand-sorted by color for a subtle, brindled look
• Low-shed, easy to clean, and biodegradable
• Slight variations in size due to handmade nature

The Design:

Hart is unbleached to preserve its natural variation of color, and finely-woven to create a delicate ombre. Bonus: its fine weave also collects less dust.

The Material:

• Jute is a natural fiber with a golden sheen, known for its tensile strength and versatility
• An eco-conscious crop, jute has minimal water needs, and consumes large enough quantities of carbon dioxide that it’s carbon-neutral
• Handspun weft expresses the fiber’s natural irregularities and textures
• Unbleached jute has a desirable variation of hue and texture, which we’ve played up with a delicate tonal gradation

The Maker:

Our partner is the third weaving generation of his family, and heads a small weaving house known for their unparalleled skill. A perfectionist with color, he and his team take great pride in their work, which is evident in their final product.

A Note on Curling

Because Hart is so finely woven, moisture in the air can occasionally make its edges curl up. A simple solve for this is to bend back that corner of the rug so you can curl the edge in the opposite direction, rolling it into a little burrito back and forth until it lies flat. See what we mean here .
