Tapison Home Mellow Berber 06 Rug

Some rugs announce themselves. This one simply lowers the volume of a room. The drawn, slightly wandering lines of traditional Atlas Mountain weaving run freely across a warm ivory ground in soft charcoal, never quite straight, never quite symmetrical, exactly as the hand woven pieces they are drawn from.

The pile is where it earns its name. Deep, dense and generously soft, it sinks under bare feet and springs back slowly. The ivory is not a cold white but a creamy, oatmeal toned neutral that shifts with the light through the day, warmer in the morning, quieter at dusk.

Hand knotted tassels finish the short ends, a detail that keeps the piece firmly in the Berber tradition rather than tipping into plain modern shag. Put it under a low linen sofa, alongside pale oak and rattan, or in a bedroom where the first thing you want in the morning is something soft underfoot.

Woven in Belgium from a durable polyester yarn: the look and comfort of a wool Berber, with far more forgiveness for daily traffic, pets and the occasional spill.

Vacuum with a suction only setting and no beater bar to protect the long pile. Blot spills immediately without rubbing. Leave deeper cleaning to a professional rug cleaner. New deep pile rugs shed slightly during the first weeks, which settles with regular vacuuming.
