A bird’s-eye view of a rural landscape inspired this rug
design. The surface is structured by rows of parallel lines
that represent the deep furrows of a ploughed field. Simple
changes in the orientations of the lines form contrasting
patterns that express movement over time. They seem to
suggest that the boundaries between the fields shift from
harvest to harvest, creating a living landscape. However
you see it, the contrast between the textured rows of soft
wool pile and the sharp lines dividing them creates a soft
and tactile surface.
Row is available in a choice of neutral palettes: beige,
brown and green. At first, the rugs may appear to be
monochrome, but a closer look reveals the variety of tones
in the individual threads that make up the overall colour.
The rugs are individually hand-loomed and made from
New Zealand wool. Craftsmen carve the fibres by hand to
form the long, even rows that create the rugs’ contrasting
lines. Minimal and unmistakably contemporary, each design
is available in round and rectangular shapes.
