In addition to contributing a warm and soft surface to a tiled or hardwood floor, your typical area rug is usually responsible for introducing color and pattern as a focal piece in a room. The Geo Carved Rug delivers those qualities associated with comfort, but adds aesthetically to a room without the display of elaborate motifs or schematic spectra.
Ella Doran created the chic carpet for WovenGround using masterly handmade techniques. Tufted entirely with immaculate white New Zealand wool, the piece induces visual intrigue through texture. Once all of the material is fixed in place, the designer trims the tips of the threads unevenly. The Geo Carved Rug is rendered as an undulating geoform surface of seemingly creased triangles of various sizes in a grid.
