The CollectionWe made a better washable rug. Made of recycled materials and done in calm neutrals, with an extraordinarily comfortable pile, these pieces are not mats: they’re the real deal, thick and soft to cushion every step. Plus, their lightness and foldability makes washing easy. Gaziantep, where these rugs are made, is home to many ancient mosaics, whose edges have softened imperfectly over time. The Mosaic Collection is made of raised pile squares with soft edges: when your foot hits the pile it crushes, and its silklike memory means the squares move with wear, so it looks better as you live with it.
The DesignOur washable Mosaic Collection has a pile design made up of small squares, much like its namesake, and behaves like its namesake as well: the small boxes morph shape once they're walked on, creating a series of softened, imperfect squares. Susa is named for the site of ancient mosaics made with the first known glazed tiles, from around 1500 BC. Its design of Albers-inspired concentric squares is a single color with a tone-on-tone effect.
The MaterialThese pieces are made with recycled polyester left over from production companies who manufacture polymers for textiles, medical, and engineering purposes, and which would otherwise end up in a landfill. The polyester runoff is transformed through heat into a soft, sustainable fiber with the look and feel of wool. Our recycled poly is highly durable, OEKO-TEX certified for safety, mildew-resistant and machine-washable.
The MakerOur partner in Turkey began as a small family-owned weaving house over 50 years ago, with only two looms. Today, they’re recognized as an award-winning leader in weaving technology, even making their own yarn for their various types of textile production.
The DesignerOur in-house, all-star design team works across Los Angeles, Istanbul, and Mumbai. Starting with the weave itself, they determine the collection material, technique, and mood. When designs are finalized, they collaborate with the supplier on an extensive sampling process, perfecting each style and hue before it goes to production.
- Clean regularly with a non-rotary vacuum
- Rotate on occasion to ensure even wear over time.
- For sizes up to 5’ x 8’, machine wash your rug with like colors on delicate with 1 TBSP of gentle detergent.
- For sizes 5’ x 8’ and above, we recommend using a 60-lb washing machine - the large kind you find at a laundromat - rather than a home washing machine, which is usually 20-25 lbs.
- For sizes 9’ x 12’ and above, spot clean with a dab of gentle detergent and water
- Preferably line dry. Alternatively, tumble dry on no heat or low heat setting.
- If your rug is heavily soiled, or if It's tough to find a laundromat, we suggest you dry clean it instead
