Slope is a high quality Tibetan wool rug characterised by a dynamic colour bleed on the sides. In an earthy palette ranging from brown and gold to autumnal red, dove grey and green, the design is created using a process described by Hella Jongerius as a 'woven construction with knotted dyeing'.
This complex ikat technique involves hand-dyeing tightly wrapped bundles of yarn so that the pattern is created in the yarn itself. A master weaver then meticulously aligns the dyed yarns on a loom to achieve Slope's precise blended quality.
The irregularities created by this handcrafted approach are perfectly balanced in the design by a clear graphic stripe on the ecru base. Finished with a single scalloped border on the top and bottom of the rug and a double scallop on both sides, Slope is a contemporary take on a traditional flat woven kelim. It is ideal for both home and light traffic contract spaces.
