The Greige collection is a study in material honesty. Twelve hand-knotted rugs work inside an exceptionally close palette, moving from ecru and oat to kraft, ash and slate, grounded by the grey-beige that gives the collection its name. The color story reads as undyed, as if the fiber simply kept its own character. A rare note of sumi charcoal drops in now and then to add quiet weight.
The restraint lives in color, not in surface. Each field is dense, thick pile, with subtle shifts in pile height and feathered boundaries that create a soft blur across the rug. You can feel the irregular rhythm of running stitches knotted straight into the matte wool. The references are humble ones: raw cotton slub, unbleached paper, a single low horizon.
Every rug is hand-knotted in Kathmandu from premium New Zealand wool, with a faint touch of silk reserved for the driest luster. Knot densities range from 100 to 160 knots per square inch. Greige is luxury found in the unhurried hand and the quiet of a spacious room.
The Collection
Oat Drift
The subtle movement in a field of dry, undyed wool is captured here, like looking across open ground. Weavers have created a gentle gradation of greige, shifting almost imperceptibly from a cool limestone tone to a warmer charcoal-grey.
Ecru Horizon
Imagine the calm where two unbleached wools meet, one slightly warmer, one cooler, defining an emptiness that feels vast and quiet. This hand-knotted composition is structured on that very principle, with subtle shifts in natural, undyed yarn creating the illusion of a soft, imprecise boundary line across a field of mottled beige and ecru.
Kraft Grid
Imagine the honest mottle of unbleached paper pulp, its soft texture and irregular color. Now visualize that same natural variation rendered in a low, hand-knotted pile that feels substantial and calm underfoot.
Sumi Dot
An undyed greige warp is defined by a repetitive, imperfect grid of individual charcoal knots. The pattern is quiet, organized, and intentional, leaving vast empty spaces of plain neutral material for the eye to rest.
Linear Path
Consider the subtle shifts where distinct threads align on the loom. A series of parallel lines, formed not by pigment but by a deliberate change in the raw, undyed cotton warp, defines this composition.
Felt Grey
Imagine the compressed density of recycled paper pulp, a felted plane where deep greige and understated charcoal fibers lock together. This flat, sturdy surface is formed by two very close tones, appearing uniform until you step onto its dense plane.
Grey Calm
Grey Calm begins with the serene intersection of two subtle, unbleached yarns. A ground of deep charcoal meets a field of soft, warm greige, not in a harsh line but where their varied, natural slubs softly intertwine across the surface.
Bleached Shadow
Consider how a shadow falls across bleached paper. There is a clean, sharp contrast at the boundary.
Dry Mottle
The unbleached slub of raw cotton and the natural mottle of recycled paper create the texture. This hand-knotted piece forms a field of close neutrals, where faint, uneven striations in ecru and warm beige dissolve across the surface.
Loam
The deep charcoal of damp soil gives this piece its grounded presence, defining a soft modular grid against a field of dry, unbleached cotton. Hand-knotted with natural wool, it offers a distinct, quiet order, a low pile that feels firm underfoot and resists compression.
Pale Boundary
Imagine the quiet transition where pale, undyed wool meets unbleached cotton. This piece explores the subtle defining edge, creating a structured surface defined by textural variance.
Quiet Ground
Unbleached raw wool forms the foundational field here, its inherent variations creating a quiet, textured surface. Fine lines of charcoal wool are introduced with precise spacing, dividing the neutral plane into calm, modular segments.
