Tuja, dark green

Origin

The pattern of this hand-knotted Tuja rug shows variations on the time-honoured tree-of-life motif. Tuja rugs are adorned with elements of the tree of life. We have developed two versions of the Tuja motif: in one, the various Tuja motifs look as though they had been scattered across the rug at random. In the other, individual tendrils and leaves are arranged in lengthwise stripes of different colours, framed by a monochrome border. Our Tuja rugs are tuned to contemporary taste: harmonious colour compositions in natural shades flatter the variations on the traditional pattern. Another characteristic feature is the fringes – as on our Oxiana rugs – which have been gathered into small bundles and wrapped with threads in different colours.

Material

The pile of this Tuja was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a range of impressive qualities: thanks to the natural lanolin in the wool, the surface repels droplets of water and is therefore naturally proofed against dirt. Wool also provides excellent thermal insulation, helps regulate the indoor climate and dampens sound.
