THE LANGUAGE OF FIBRES

Six materials.
Endless expressions.

Natural, plant-derived cellulosic and technical fibres. Their richness lies in understanding them: their origin, their feel and what they can bring to your rug.

Complete sample of Worsted wool
01 / 06Worsted wool

Wool · natural animal fibre

Worsted wool

Very soft and fine.

Very soft, fine worsted wool. Its combed fibres form an even surface that gives definition to patterns and changes in level.

  • Very soft
  • Fine yarn
  • Definition

Its design expression

For defined patterns, relief and compositions where detail matters. It can be blended with other fibres to introduce contrasts of lustre and feel.

Origin & thoughtful selection

Wool is a renewable fibre. Understanding its origin and choosing a construction suited to its use helps us consider the piece as a whole.

Choosing and caring for this fibre

Regular care and cleaning suited to the composition help preserve its texture and appearance.

Complete sample of Woollen-spun wool
02 / 06Woollen-spun wool

Carded wool · natural animal fibre

Woollen-spun wool

The wool in our collection photographs.

Woollen-spun wool is used in every collection photograph. Neither too coarse nor too fine, its yarn gives an appealing, balanced texture with a natural presence.

  • Balanced texture
  • Natural character
  • Catalogue wool

Its design expression

For surfaces with substance and textures that invite a closer look. It brings visual warmth to soft tones and depth to blended colours.

Origin & thoughtful selection

Worsted and carded wool share the same natural origin; preparation changes the yarn’s expression. The choice depends on the feel and the life the rug will lead.

Choosing and caring for this fibre

Care is adapted to the pile and final blend. A sample lets you appreciate its volume before deciding.

Complete sample of Natural silk
03 / 06Natural silk

Mulberry silk · natural animal fibre

Natural silk

Clean, firm and silky.

Natural silk has a clean, firm and silky feel. Its lustre shifts with the direction of the pile and the light, revealing nuances that become part of the design.

  • Clean feel
  • Firmness
  • Natural silk

Its design expression

It can illuminate a motif, highlight a zone or become part of a blend. Its contrast with matt wool allows compositions in reflections and textures.

Origin & thoughtful selection

Its natural origin calls for a thoughtful choice of use. Composition, provenance and care are part of the conversation around every commission.

Choosing and caring for this fibre

A delicate fibre that calls for attention to direct light, moisture and specialist cleaning suited to the piece.

Complete sample of Botanical Silk
04 / 06Botanical Silk

Lyocell · regenerated plant-cellulose fibre

Botanical Silk

Fine, with shifting colour.

Botanical Silk is a fine, silky lyocell fibre with lustre at the edge. Its chameleon-like colour changes character with the light and the viewing angle.

  • Fine yarn
  • Silky feel
  • Shifting colour

Its design expression

For exploring reflections, transitions and contrasts with matt fibres. A sample reveals how colour and lustre respond in the chosen construction.

Origin & thoughtful selection

Cellulose provenance and the yarn-making process form part of its environmental profile. Available documentation is reviewed for the material in your commission.

Choosing and caring for this fibre

Selection and care are adapted to the setting, intended use and final rug composition.

Complete sample of Bamboo
05 / 06Bamboo

Bamboo viscose · regenerated cellulosic fibre

Bamboo

Our silkiest yarn.

Bamboo is our silkiest yarn. The cut face is matt while the side catches the light: two expressions of the same fibre that enrich its colour and texture.

  • Very silky
  • Matt cut face
  • Lustrous side

Its design expression

Bamboo is our silkiest yarn. The cut face is matt while the side catches the light: two expressions of the same fibre that enrich its colour and texture.

Origin & thoughtful selection

The plant’s origin and its transformation into fibre are considered together. Yarn composition and documentation are defined for each project.

Choosing and caring for this fibre

Intended use and the sample guide the choice. Cleaning should follow the instructions for the final composition.

Complete sample of Polyamide 6.6
06 / 06Polyamide 6.6

Synthetic fibre · technical development

Polyamide 6.6

Classic and contemporary.

Classic and modern at once, polyamide 6.6 combines a clean expression with a rustic character. A surprising mix of sensations, with possibilities even for outdoor use depending on the chosen construction.

  • Contrasts
  • Versatility
  • Indoor and outdoor

Its design expression

An option for compositions that require stability, resilience and careful definition. Performance depends on the rug as a whole.

Origin & thoughtful selection

For a technical fibre, suitability for use and maintenance play a central role. Options with recycled content are reviewed separately, subject to availability and documentation.

Choosing and caring for this fibre

For demanding projects, we confirm the composition, tests and documentation applicable to the construction and destination.

MATERIAL AS A CREATIVE TOOL

Character emerges
where fibres meet.

A matt fibre beside a lustrous one. A raised area beside a more fluid surface. Blends allow you to design with sensations as well as colours. We study the composition, proportion and construction for each project.
