Indo Tess Inverse

Indo Tess Inverse is a celebration of contrast, deepening the observer’s appreciation of its form. A coarse, flat woven field in wool, with every imperfection of the hand-weaver’s art exposed, offset by the flickering play of light across dense and luxurious silk – such is the beauty of Tess.

Walker

SHIIR Rugs; Lyric Collection: Walker, Moss

A mélange of wool and silk and dual colors – one for pile and one for loop – are meticulously hand-carved to birth lights and darks that are so much more than the sum of their twin hues. Add to the mix a trio of sheared pile heights, ribbed loops, and consistency of repeat for unparalleled distinction that’s at once subtle and rich.

Jerran

SHIIR Rugs: Lineage Collection: Jerran, White Jasper

Jerran is bold, yes – but more so, balanced. A fusion of border and field that reads, at first glance, as one. Delve more deeply, however, and geometric tension becomes apparent: prominent medallions seem to recede; vertical caning is subtly revealed. Or is it the opposite? Like mysterious lands themselves, the answer is achingly indeterminate.

Keelan

SHIIR Rugs; Lyric Collection: Keelan, Sterling

Our founder’s love of antique carpets inspired Keelan’s Tibetan rug-like, spun silk, low pile simplicity. Velvety in the extreme, its touch recalls aged textiles, bygone fineries, and a luxurious moment in time – but in the most modern and graphic of ways. Marked by slender hand-carving to subtly define color-blocked transitions in hue – without repeat or restriction, for the utmost in flexibility.

Trace

SHIIR Rugs; Lyric Collection: Trace, Foxglove

A stripe is a stripe is a stripe – or, so much more, when graduated throughout a striated field of wool, and celebrated in silk atop. Suddenly, what we thought we knew becomes a marvel – of visual interest and immense versatility.

Rill

Like so many of our designs, Rill takes inspiration from the wonders of nature. Specifically, the shallow channels carved into soil as water flows over its surface – a phenomenon we witnessed with fascination during a sudden downpour during a London garden tour. Without an umbrella – and almost without thought – we found ourselves entranced by the impacts of the droplets. And just like that, Rill took shape in our imagination.

Post

Erratically patterned in the most freeing of ways, the eminently versatile Post is without limitations. Vaguely Mid-century in feel, neither focal points nor furniture placements are hindered by its random design, making Post an excellent foundational choice for almost any space.

Icarus

Juxtaposed as in nature, the vivid pattern of a butterfly wing takes flight in delicate form.

Tellen

Sinuous repetition yields dramatic – yet eminently versatile – interest as a line of silk snakes across a field of oxidized wool. The result? An ordered presentation of curves at once geometric and organic.

Shibori

Suggestive of – indeed, informed by – 8th century Japanese fabric dyeing techniques, Shibori summons memories of ages-old manipulations, and marriages, between fiber and dye. Oxidized to evoke eternities; rendered wholly new by imagination.
