Mesmerizing Ikats With A Contemporary Twist

New Addition

Inspired by the ancient dying technique ikat, which translates from the Indonesian Malay phrase “to tie”, these handloomed designs are a contemporary take on the traditional ikat style. While featuring modern and muted hues, the pieces honor the challenging process of resist dying to produce the final blurred effect.

Trance illustrates the hypnotizing nature of ikat through its fine zigzag motif. Crafted in a fusion of wool and silk, the blend of light to dark charcoal tones create the vision of sound waves fluttering across the rug. This design will add intrigue to a room and complement a pared-back style.

Haze

$118 per SQ FT

Handloomed wool and silk

In a subtle design, Haze is characterized through its soft, dappled effect. Warm tones are freckled over this piece, but the lustre of silk shines through, with streaks of silver appearing as your eyes flow over the rug.

Fuse

$133 per SQ FT

Handloomed wool and silk

Fuse features an oversized geometric pattern that lightly drifts across the composition. The disciplined grid form is softened through the internal bleed of the thread, creating the illusion of water washing over the design. Complemented by a dusky blue palette and handloomed in Tibetan wool and silk.

Craftsmanship at the heart of our brand

For the past 25 years, our expert weaving house in Nepal has preserved ancient weaving techniques, crafting each rug by hand. The Contemporary Ikat collection is no different. Within the Dye Master’s laboratory, lengthy yarn is carefully sectioned and dyed into different colors to eventually form the final pattern. Once dried, the thread is attentively woven onto the loom, following the dyed arrangement, which will slowly reveal the motif.
