Mixed-fiber flatweave

Mixed-fiber flatweave

• Polyester, jute, and wool
• Flatweave: approximately .39" thick (10mm)
• Cotton backing
• Rug pad highly recommended for comfort, stability, and longevity
• Due to its handmade nature a 5% variance in size, color and texture is to be expected

The Collection

The Bop Collection is our latest collaboration with artist K'era Morgan. Bop's rhythmic designs are based on her original artwork, and while they aren't centered on a singular visual theme, the Pattern and Decoration Movement did influence K'era's thinking. She's drawn to the movement's ethos, noting that "beautiful and pleasurable objects are just as legitimate and important as 'fine art' paintings, sculptures, etc." We couldn't agree more.

The Design

Zoe Monet was an integral collaborator in developing the composition, rhythmic patterns, and color story of this collection. Snake's winding serpent is framed by a dashed border.

The Material

In this piece, jute, wool, and polyester are blended for texture. Jute is a natural fiber with a golden sheen, known for its tensile strength and versatility. Wool has a hydrophobic layer which repels dust and dirt, as well as lanolin, which provides its trademark luster and protects it from breaking or shedding. Polyester is extremely soft and durable, and beloved for its pleasing drape and ease in dying. Finally, a cotton backing adds stability and strength.

The Maker

Our partner in India has 19 years of weaving expertise. Committed to expanding their renewable energy sources, they've installed a solar plant to reduce their carbon footprint. They also hold Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and OEKO-TEX certifications.

The Designer

K'era Morgan is a Los Angeles-based mixed media artist whose expressive abstract paintings explore the underlying patterns and energetic forces that shape and connect us. She earned a BFA in textile design from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and this foundational background informs her approach to scale, pattern, and surface. Alongside her studio practice, she founded k-apostrophe, a homeware line that translates her artwork into woven, knitted, and printed designs in collaboration with artisans in the U.S., Mexico, and the U.K. The collection has garnered wide recognition in the design world, including a cover feature in Dwell Magazine's Emerging Designers Issue. Morgan's paintings have been exhibited across the United States and are held in private and public collections internationally.

• Clean on low power with a non-rotary vacuum or suction attachment (no spinning brush) only
• Lightly vacuum the rug once a week
• Professional cleaning recommended as needed.
• Rotate your rug on occasion to ensure even wear over time.
• Keep away from excessive moisture.
• Use a high-quality rug pad to absorb shock and reduce damage
• Light shedding, matting, and signs of fiber or thread breakage may occur over time, depending on the material and weave. In high-traffic areas, these effects may appear more quickly.
• Spot cleaning instructions:
• Lightly dampen a paper towel or cloth with clean water
• Gently blot the affected area with your damp towel or cloth to dilute the stain
• If the stain persists, try using an unscented, citrus-free, clear soap to avoid bleaching the textile.
• Repeat this process until the stain is removed
• From time to time you may spot tiny flecks of dried hay or grass woven within the fibers-traces of the grazing pastures where the sheep once roamed. These can be removed by hand or with tweezers.
• Because this rug is made from natural wool rich in lanolin, it may release a subtle sheep-like scent when damp. It's simply the fiber's natural character, and it will disappear once dry.
