A soft, luxurious wool rug with an elegant grid design

• 100% wool on a cotton warp
• You may find traces of dried hay, grass, or straw in your rug as grazing sheep often collect plant matter in their coats. Remove gently by hand or with tweezers.
• Authentic wool fibers were used to weave this rug. Please note that when wool gets damp, it will smell like a wet sheep. This is the scent of lanolin, which acts as a waxy barrier against dirt and moisture.
• Medium pile: approximately 1/3" thick (8-9mm)
• Due to its handmade nature a 5% variance in size, color and texture is to be expected.

The Collection

Triplo Strato gets its name from Ferrari's unique triple-layer paint application and its racing stripe motif. These soft and luxurious wool rugs are hand-loomed in a monochromatic palette that's inspired by Agnes Martin's grids and Ellsworth Kelly's color blocking.

The Design

Sporty and sophisticated, Triplo Strato features a bold stripe racing through the center. Its ground is composed of a grid made by solid and hatched lines which add depth and movement.

The Material

Cut-pile rugs with a soft, satisfying footfall and pleasing weight, Triplo Strato's weft is made using wool from the Sarda sheep of the island of Sardinia, which is windswept and briny. This sturdy, wiry, and waterproof wool yarn is visible in the horizontal flatweave. A premium blend of soft Indian and New Zealand wool is woven throughout, and is hand-loomed onto a cotton foundation for added durability.

The Maker

Our partner is a third-generation family-run weaving house in Bhadohi, India. They specialize in plush pile rugs, and their immense knowledge helped us improve construction for durability and less shedding. Their values are twofold: creating the highest-quality product and taking care of their team, supporting their weavers in whatever they need.

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.

• We recommend that you regularly vacuum your rug to remove dirt and grime. Depending on how heavily your rug is used, just once or twice a month is adequate. Too much vacuuming can wear down the knots and fibers more quickly. If you have a suction attachment on your vacuum cleaner, use that instead of a rotary vacuum.
• Every few months, you'll also want to flip your rug over and vacuum the back to get the grit out of the foundation of the rug. It also helps to rotate your rug once a year to ensure even wear over time.
• Every 3-5 years, we recommend getting your rug professionally hand-washed. Please do not take it to get steam or dry cleaned-this will almost certainly damage the rug! Hand-washing requires the use of a pH-balanced shampoo, worked into the rug by hand with a soft-bristled brush, before being rinsed thoroughly. This process should be repeated a few times.
• Vacuum on low power with a non-rotary (no spinning brush) vacuum or suction attachment only.
• 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
