An elegant and flexible jute rug with a stacked horizontal line design

• 100% natural jute
• Flatweave: approximately 0.15" thick (4-5mm)
• The shedding quantity and duration varies by foot traffic and rug construction
• We recommend you pair this piece with a rug pad for comfort and longevity
• Due to its handmade nature a 5% variance in size, color and texture is to be expected.

The Design

Sum is a handwoven all-natural jute piece, which looks as good alone as it does layered underneath another rug. Its central design features rows of stacked horizontal lines that resemble the beads of an abacus. Plus, its fine weave means it collects less dust, which means less time cleaning. We're fans of that math.

The Material

Jute is a natural fiber with a golden sheen, known for its tensile strength and versatility. Our award-winning jute easily complements hardwood or tiled flooring. We love this eco-conscious crop, which has minimal water needs, and consumes large enough quantities of carbon dioxide that it's C02-neutral.

The Maker

Our partner is the third weaving generation of his family, and heads a small weaving house known for their unparalleled skill. A perfectionist with color, he and his team take great pride in their work, which is evident in their final product.

The Designer

Our in-house, all-star design team collaborates across three different countries. Based in Los Angeles, Istanbul, and Mumbai, they put a lot of thought into each and every collection they design. Starting with the weave itself, they determine material and technique, then create moodboards to capture the look and feel before starting to design. When designs are finalized, they conduct an extensive sampling process, perfecting each style and color before it goes to production.

• Vacuum on low power with a non-rotary (no spinning brush) vacuum or suction attachment only.
• Avoid prolonged direct exposure to sunlight, although leaving your rug out to dry in the sun for a few hours on occasion (1-2 times a year) is actually good for the fibers
• Don't pull loose fiber ends; trim with scissors to remove
• For hard-to-remove stains, we recommend professional rug cleaning.
• Due to the hand-crafted nature of our rugs, you can expect to see light shedding, matting, and signs of fiber and thread breakage over time. For high traffic areas, these effects may occur more quickly and easily.
• Spot cleaning instructions:
• Lightly dampen a paper towel or cloth with clean water
• Gently blot the affected area with your damp towel or cloth to dilute the stain
• If the stain persists, try using an unscented, citrus-free, clear soap to avoid bleaching the textile.
• Repeat this process until the stain is removed
