Jute de Base
Conceived as a foundation within the Tigmi collection, Jute de Base is a series of handwoven jute rugs designed to sit naturally alongside different materials, periods and styles. Fine linear details bring structure to the weave while allowing the natural character and variation of the jute to remain visible.
Available in two tonal expressions and as both rugs and runners.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are jute rugs comfortable underfoot?
Jute has a naturally tactile, textured feel rather than the plush softness of wool or cashmere. The feel varies depending on the weave and construction, making jute particularly suited to spaces where natural texture and materiality are part of the design.
What rug material is best for my space?
The right material depends on where the rug will live, how the space is used and the feeling you want to create. Wool is an enduring choice for everyday living, valued for its softness, resilience and natural ability to withstand wear. Cashmere offers an exceptionally soft, luxurious handle, but is also surprisingly hardy, making it a beautiful choice for spaces where comfort and longevity are equally important. Jute and other natural plant fibres bring texture and an earthier quality, while silk and silk blends have a finer feel and subtle lustre that responds beautifully to light. Material is only part of the story — construction, pile and placement will also influence how a rug performs. If you’re unsure, our team can help you choose the right rug for your space.
How do I care for my rug?
Regular, gentle care will help preserve your rug for years to come. Vacuum using low suction, attend to spills promptly by blotting rather than rubbing, and rotate your rug periodically to encourage even wear. For deeper cleaning, we recommend using a professional rug cleaner familiar with handmade and natural-fibre rugs.
Do I need a rug underlay?
We recommend using an underlay with every rug. Beyond helping to keep your rug securely in place, a good underlay provides additional cushioning and reduces movement and friction between the rug and floor, helping to protect the rug and extend its life.
Are handmade rugs perfectly uniform?
No — and this is part of what makes them unique. Variations in weave, colour, texture and dimensions are natural characteristics of rugs made by hand, reflecting the materials and processes used by the artisan rather than a manufacturing fault.
