An abstract field of blue and red, broken up with inky dark tones and soft pale areas, has the look of a painted canvas. No part of the pattern repeats, so it reads a little differently from every side of the room. It is a chic modern 8x10 area rug in blue and red.
This handmade wool rug is one of a kind, hand knotted from a blend of hand-spun local wool and fine merino wool and colored with natural vegetable dyes extracted from local plants. Those dyes create an abrash, a soft shift in shade within a single color. Hand-spun wool takes natural dye a little differently from batch to batch, so the variation is normal and is one of the signs of a true handmade rug. After knotting, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen and a comfortable feel underfoot.
It anchors a living room seating group, a bedroom, or a dining room. The contrast of blue and red gives a boho chic or eclectic room its focal point and adds energy to a contemporary space. The painterly design sits well with contemporary art and maximalist layers.
