Le Marais
Inspired by traditional Parisian mosaic tiles, Le Marais translates repeating geometric forms into hand-knotted wool and silk rugs. The combination of materials gives the pattern a subtle shift in depth and lustre as the light changes.
Available in Pistache and Caramel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which rugs are cosiest for a lounge room?
For a soft, cosy feel underfoot, look for tactile natural fibres such as wool, cashmere or wool and silk blends. Rugs with a denser pile generally offer greater softness and warmth, making them particularly well suited to lounge and living areas.
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.
