Like walking on soft sand
How about having a unique piece of art on the floor? Which also adds a snug feeling to the room! The handwoven BANKKONTOR wool rug has a wavy pattern reminiscent of soft sand dunes. The pattern’s high and thick pile is tactile and wonderfully comfy to put your feet on. Since wool is a natural material, the pile will shed at first. You can easily vacuum it away to enjoy your luxuriously soft rug art – and maybe dream away to an exotic beach?
Form/Design process
Made using the pit loom weaving technique
The pit loom, as the name suggests, is positioned over a pit, and the wooden frame is angled for horizontal weaving. The artisan sits underneath the frame, and controls it with foot pedals and their hands, crafting rugs with intricate patterns and designs. This setup enables working from both above and below the frame, achieving a very tight weave. Producing a rug with this technique takes about 2-3 days, resulting in a work of art that can add character to any home.
Material
What is wool?
Wool is a practical natural material that usually comes from sheep. The raw wool is washed and then spun into yarn. Wool rugs have many advantages. They're soft, warm and comfortable to walk on, and they're also very hardwearing. They're stain-resistant too, because wool has it own natural oil. This means that dirt stays on the surface and doesn't penetrate into the rug. All wool rugs shed - some more, some less - vacuum them regularly to prevent the loose fibres from scattering.
