Shading with Added Benefits
1/16/2024
Slope is a high quality Tibetan wool rug characterised by a dynamic colour bleed at the sides. In an earthy palette ranging from brown and golden to autumnal red, dove gray, and green, the design is created using a process described by Hella Jongerius as a ‘tye-dye woven construction’.
This complexikat-technique involves dyeing tightly wrapped bundles of yarn by hand so that the pattern is created in the yarn itself. Dyed yarns are then meticulously aligned on a loom by a master weaver in order to render Slope’s precisely blended quality.
The irregularities created by this handcrafted approach are
perfectly balanced in the design by a clear graphic stripe
across the ecru base. Finished with a single festoon edge
on the top and bottom of the rug and a double festoon on
both sides, Slope is a contemporary take on a traditional
flatwoven kelim. It is ideal for both the home and lighttraffic
contract spaces.
