Tile Collection

Welcome to the Tile Collection, where each rug showcases meticulous craftsmanship. Focusing on quality, the flat weave pile and “double back” construction ensure durability and longevity, while the use of a monochromatic dip-dyed yarn adds rich colour depth to any room. With a delicate tile pattern carved into the weave, shadows create dimension, adding subtle variations of hue that change with the light of the day.

Bouclé Collection

Step onto the Bouclé rug, where the quiet mastery of yarn spinning is at its finest. Inspired by a deep appreciation for the handfeel and spinning quality of Bouclé yarn by a specific Indian producer, Mark Krebs designed this collection to highlight its exceptional quality. Through a simple extra-thick weaving technique, these rugs are the cosiest in the collection and offer a soft, durable, and chunky grace.

Stitch Rug Collection

Rediscover the Stitch Rug, inspired by old kilim rugs from various nomadic tribes throughout Persia and northern Africa, where looms needed to be compact enough to travel on horseback. Weavers then stitched multiple smaller strips together to form larger rugs. Recognising the efficiency of a single weaver operating at the width of their body, this style of rug production has been revisited. Embracing the imperfections of handmade craftsmanship, Mark welcomes slight variations in strip lengths, adding a bit of improvised character to every rug.
