    Design

    Hand-drawn in our Geneva atelier, refined over weeks of paper and ink.

    New Zealand wool, hand-dyed with botanical pigments that deepen with age.

  3. 03

    Weave

    Twelve artisans. Six months. Up to 200,000 knots per rug, each tied by hand.

  4. 04

    Finish

    Mountain-spring washed, sheared, inspected. Then placed in your home.

“We don’t romanticise the struggle of our weavers. We pay them above market wage, give many equity in their ateliers, and send their children to school.”

— Our Founder, Geneva atelier

made only for you.
