Description
A hand-woven wool flatweave with a soft cream base and delicate gray grid lines — quietly beautiful and endlessly versatile in any modern or neutral space.
A rectangular flatweave area rug with a warm cream/ivory base covering approximately 88% of the surface. Fine, evenly-spaced gray lines run both horizontally and vertically across the entire rug, forming a clean, uniform grid or checkered pattern of equal-sized squares. The gray lines are thin and subtle — approximately 1-2mm wide — creating a quiet, understated geometric effect rather than a bold graphic statement. The weave texture is visible up close, with a slightly irregular handmade quality to the grid lines that gives it warmth. No pile, no fringe, no tassels — clean bound edges on all sides. The overall impression is calm, minimal, and softly textured.

Care & Cleaning
To keep your wool or cotton rugs in top shape, follow these steps:
- Begin by blotting any stains with a dry cotton or white paper towel.
- Use a blunt instrument to carefully remove food or debris.
- Combine a minimal quantity of dish soap with a cup of cold water. Use this solution and a clean sponge to gently clean the stain. Avoid over-saturating the rug. Blot the cleaned area dry with a towel.
- Keep away from excessive heat or agitation as wool and cotton rugs are susceptible to bleeding and staining.
- For the best results, we advise a yearly professional cleaning.

When selecting a living room rug, choose one that anchors your furniture by either placing all the legs on the rug or just the front legs, which helps define the seating area and enhances the room's acoustics.
