Figwick Grey 5' x 8' Rug

Yes, light shedding is a natural characteristic of hand-tufted wool construction. This occurs as small, loose fibers work their way to the surface during the first few months of use. Based on our care expertise, we recommend regular vacuuming with a suction-only setting (no beater bar) to manage shedding until it naturally subsides. For spills, blot immediately with a dry cloth and use only mild detergent with cool water to protect the space-dyed yarns.

Wool is a naturally resilient fiber, making it an exceptional choice for high-traffic living areas. Its natural elasticity allows it to bounce back from the weight of furniture legs and heavy foot traffic, resisting the crushing that can occur with synthetic fibers. Additionally, the natural oils in wool provide a degree of inherent stain resistance, ensuring the rug remains a durable centerpiece for years.

This rug features a dense, textural cut and loop pile that creates a sophisticated multi-dimensional surface. This technique combines upright "cut" fibers with "looped" yarns to add visual depth and a rich, tactile feel. From a practical standpoint, this textured finish is excellent at masking footprints and vacuum marks, maintaining a clean and curated look in busy households.

This rug features an abstract design inspired by natural elements, with a palette of gray, blue, green, copper, and gold. To create a cohesive contemporary space, we recommend using the rug as a "color map." You can pull the warmer copper or gold tones for metallic accents and lighting, while coordinating your larger furniture pieces with the neutral gray or cooler blue and green tones found within the weave.

We strongly recommend pairing this rug with a high-quality rug pad. Beyond preventing the rug from sliding on hard surfaces, a pad provides extra cushioning and protects your flooring. Most importantly, it reduces friction on the rug's backing, which helps preserve the integrity of the hand-tufted construction and extends the lifespan of the wool fibers.

A 5' x 8' rug is a highly versatile choice for smaller living environments. In an urban apartment, it is the ideal scale to anchor a seating area when placed under the front legs of a sofa or a coffee table. For a home office, it provides ample coverage beneath a desk and chair, offering both underfoot comfort and natural sound insulation, which is particularly beneficial in multi-family buildings.
