                   Our flat woven rugs are hand
                       woven on a loom. These
                     rugs have zero pile, which
                       makes them durable and
                   easy to clean. This technique
                     is suitable for bold stripes,
                 textural weaves and geometric
                                   patterns.



                   Screen printing is made up of
                    a series of screens, each of
                  which is covered by a layer of
                   ink and printed one after the
                 other. This method creates soft
                  subtle marks of colour, and is
                   suitable for our more textural
                                    designs.
