Description
A crisp cream and gray checkerboard pattern hand tufted from wool and recycled yarn — modern, durable, and endlessly versatile for any contemporary space.
A rectangular area rug with an allover checkerboard pattern composed of evenly sized squares alternating between soft cream/off-white and charcoal gray. The gray squares have a slightly textured, hand-tufted surface that gives them a subtle depth and variation in tone — not a flat printed gray but a tactile, woven appearance. The cream squares are similarly textured. A narrow solid border in cream frames the entire design, giving it a clean, finished edge. The pile is very low and even, with a smooth but slightly nubby surface texture consistent with hand-tufted wool construction. The overall impression is crisp, modern, and quietly graphic — like a classic checkerboard softened by natural fiber texture.
- Bold allover checkerboard pattern in cream and charcoal gray
- Hand tufted from 52% wool and 48% recycled PET yarn
- Low pile (0.2 in) — easy to clean and great for high-traffic areas
- Eco-friendly construction with recycled materials
- Versatile neutral palette suits modern, Scandinavian, and transitional interiors
- Canvas backing for stability — use with a rug pad for best results
