Nerva Gray 5'6 x 8'6 Rug

This rug utilizes a premium blend of wool and viscose to offer a balance of resilience and high-end aesthetics. Wool is a naturally durable and resilient fiber that provides excellent insulation and soil resistance, making it ideal for the foundational structure of the rug. The addition of viscose introduces a silk-like sheen and soft texture, which enhances the abstract contemporary motifs with a sophisticated, multi-level visual depth.

To preserve the integrity of the handcrafted fibers, our experts recommend vacuuming wool rugs regularly using a suction-only setting or a vacuum with the beater bar turned off to avoid pulling at the loops. For spills, it is critical to blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth and cool water. Since viscose is a delicate fiber, avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, which can alter the texture and sheen of the material.

This rug is exceptionally well-suited for modern urban living. The abstract pattern and gray tones provide a neutral yet sophisticated foundation that complements contemporary furniture like leather sofas or metal-framed accent tables. Its 5'6" x 8'6" size is particularly ideal for "zoning" open-concept lofts or smaller apartments, helping to distinguish a lounge area from a dining or workspace without the need for physical dividers.

Yes, the 5'6" x 8'6" dimensions of this rug make it a versatile choice for anchoring a variety of living spaces. In a medium-sized living room, this scale works perfectly when positioned so that the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on the rug. This configuration creates a cohesive "grounded" look that defines the seating area without overwhelming the room’s natural footprint.

Shedding is a common and natural characteristic of high-quality wool rugs and is not a sign of a defect. This initial shedding typically subsides after a few months of regular use and vacuuming. Based on our material expertise, we recommend frequent vacuuming during the first few weeks to remove loose fibers, which will help the rug "settle" and maintain its energetic, multi-level texture over time.

Because this rug is handcrafted using a loop-and-pile technique, it features a unique, multi-level texture that machine-made rugs often lack. This construction creates "energetic textural looks" where the contemporary motifs are physically raised or recessed. This not only adds a tactile element underfoot but also allows the rug to catch the light differently from various angles, highlighting the gray color palette.
