Karpeta It, Checkers Contemporary Handwoven Wool Area Rug. Original Price: $3,500

Design Plus Gallery presents the Checkers Rug by Karpeta. A bold and unexpected combination of plush caramel bands and white/black low pile marl, this rug is a distinctive addition to your contemporary interiors. Inspired by the century-old game of chess, it more deeply interprets existence as a field of action. Hand-woven from New Zealand wool. Light evidence of surface wear; condition is good for age and use.

“Karpeta is distinguished by a great desire, to hybridise. The rugs textures are the symbol of this, the interweaving of fabrics reflects the interweaving of land and sea, myth and reality, past and present. In fact, only from these encounters can stories arise, and an ornamental, furnishing or collectible object is all the more precious and worthy as it is the bearer of an experience, of a story to be told and handed down.”
