Evita Ivory 5' X 8' Rug

Shedding is a common and expected characteristic of hand-woven rugs and is not a sign of a defect. Based on our expertise with this construction, the shedding will dissipate over time with regular use. To maintain the fibers, vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting or a vacuum with the beater bar raised to its highest level to prevent unnecessary pulling of the delicate viscose strands.

Light colors like ivory are a strategic choice for making smaller or darker rooms feel brighter and more expansive by reflecting natural light. The subtle striped pattern adds a modern, contemporary touch that provides visual depth without clashing with existing furniture. This combination is particularly effective for creating a clean, airy aesthetic in minimalist or modern interiors.

The rectangle shape and low 0.5-inch pile height make this rug a functional choice under a small dining table for four. However, because viscose is a delicate and highly absorbent fiber, it is best suited for formal dining areas rather than high-spill environments. If a spill does occur, we recommend immediate blotting with a clean, dry cloth; never place this rug in a washing machine.

This rug is hand-woven from viscose, often called "art silk" for its ability to replicate the high-end sheen and exceptionally soft texture of natural silk. Unlike standard synthetic fibers, viscose offers a sophisticated luster that reacts to the light in the room, adding a layer of contemporary "floor art" and a luxurious feel underfoot.

A 5' x 8' rug is a versatile size ideal for defining smaller seating areas or grounding a queen-sized bed. In an urban apartment or smaller living room, placing the front legs of your sofa on the rug anchors the furniture and creates a cohesive "zone." For larger open-concept spaces, it works beautifully to highlight a specific reading nook or accent table.

Viscose is a cellulose-based fiber that is naturally absorbent. In very humid climates or high-moisture areas like entryways, the fibers can hold onto moisture, which may affect the texture over time. To ensure the rug retains its signature luster and soft hand-feel, we recommend placement in climate-controlled rooms, such as a primary bedroom or a formal sitting area.
