The Collection

We made a better washable rug. Made of recycled materials and done in calm neutrals, with an extraordinarily comfortable pile, these pieces are not mats: they’re the real deal, thick and soft to cushion every step. Plus, their lightness and foldability makes washing easy.

The Design

Our washable Push & Pull rugs feature nearly invisible stripes on an off-white ground. Okay, they aren’t invisible, but they are subtle, almost delicate, ranging in thickness to add some dynamism. We think of these as workhorse rugs, or bachelor rugs: a simple, straightforward design that looks good anywhere. Push’s stripes run vertically, and Pull’s run horizontally, almost like staves, ready for musical notation.

The Material

These pieces are made with recycled polyester left over from production companies who manufacture polymers for textiles, medical, and engineering purposes, and which would otherwise end up in a landfill. The polyester runoff is transformed through heat into a soft, sustainable fiber with the look and feel of wool. Our recycled poly is highly durable, OEKO-TEX certified for safety, mildew-resistant and machine-washable.

The Maker

Our partner in Turkey began as a small family-owned weaving house over 50 years ago, with only two looms. Today, they’re recognized as an award-winning leader in weaving technology, even making their own yarn for their various types of textile production.

The Designer

Our in-house, all-star design team collaborates across three different countries. Based in Los Angeles, Istanbul, and Mumbai, they put a lot of thought into each and every collection they design. Starting with the weave itself, they determine material and technique, then create moodboards to capture the look and feel before starting to design. When designs are finalized, they conduct an extensive sampling process, perfecting each style and color before it goes to production.

• When it’s time for a deeper clean, machine wash your rug with like colors on delicate with 1 TBSP of gentle detergent.
• For size 5’ x 8’ we recommend using a 60lb (8cu ft) commercial washing machine, for 6’ x 9’ we recommend an 80lb (11.5cu ft) commercial washing machine, and for 8’ x 10’ we recommend a 100lb (13.5cu ft) commercial washing machine. Please call your local laundromat ahead of time to determine if the right washer size is available.
• For sizes 9’ x 12’ and above, spot or dry clean.
• Preferably line dry. Alternatively, tumble dry on no or low heat setting.
• If your rug is heavily soiled, or if it’s tough to find a laundromat, dry cleaning is recommended
