You do need a rug pad
Here's why

Why You Need a Rug Pad

While we recommend a rug pad for all rugs, they’re especially important for flatweaves, whose slim profile requires extra padding.

A rug pad prevents unwanted bunching and sliding, adds a subtle lift, and gives your rug a more cushioned feel underfoot.

Our rug pads are made of recycled felt and natural rubber, whereas lesser rug pads’ thin, sticky web can damage your flooring.

Moisture and mildew resistant, a rug pad stops dirt and grime from settling in your rug’s fibers.

The right rug pad

A must-have for flatweaves and other lower-pile pieces, a rug pad is the secret ingredient to maintaining your rug’s appearance and longevity. Width-wise, you’ll want to trim your rug pad so it’s 1-2” shorter than your rug on all four sides. Height-wise, we offer two premium rug pad options, both made of cozy recycled felt and natural rubber.

Design

These rugs feature simple, line-based motifs in a deep brownish-black. Our team reduced their designs to their most simple: they kept taking away and taking away, in an almost rhythmic fashion. Esquisse is a runner with an off-kilter modern central medallion.

Collection

Hand-drawn in black and white, the Sketch Collection features beautiful silky shag rugs of hand-knotted New Zealand wool. Unspeakably soft, with a luscious plush pile that's full of movement, these are rugs you'll want to live with forever. You sink into them when you walk across, and several have a hand-braided fringe. As with all extra-soft and wooly shag rugs, these babies shed at first. Easy to use because they're both classic and modern, this collection works in any style of home, and complements pretty much any color scheme.

Studio Revival

LA ¡ Istanbul ¡ Bhadohi ¡ Mumbai

Before anything is sketched, our in-house design team starts with the weave. Materials, technique, and style then emerge. When finalized, Studio Revival rugs are sampled extensively until each piece is just right.

Material

New Zealand wool is a premium material beloved for its long, soft fibers. Wool’s natural lanolin makes it shiny and hydrophobic, protecting it from dirt and shedding. This wool is woven onto a cotton warp for durability.

Maker

We partnered with a third-generation, family-run weaving house that specializes in plush pile rugs. Their expertise has helped us improve rug construction for durability and minimal shedding.
