11x12 Multicolor Recycled Chaput Rug - 50247

Handwoven in Turkey from reclaimed Chaput fibers, this recycled rug is defined by a softened, naturally varied palette with multicolor tones helping organize the overall composition. The changing yarns create a richly textured surface and give the design a one-of-a-kind contemporary identity. The design is built around geometric sections and angular woven forms, giving the surface a clear contemporary rhythm. Because the recycled yarns differ slightly in thickness, tone and fiber content, the geometry feels hand-drawn and tactile rather than perfectly mechanical.

The starting point for this rug is a group of Chaput kilims that are taken apart so their yarns can be reused. The recovered fibers are selected, combined and handwoven again, transforming existing material into a new contemporary floor textile. The recovered yarns include a practical mix of wool, cotton, goat hair, hemp and assorted textile fibers. Their differences in thickness and texture are intentionally retained, giving the weave a tactile, layered character that cannot be reproduced by a perfectly uniform industrial yarn.

In an interior, the piece brings together sustainability, color and handcraft without looking overly rustic. It can sit comfortably beside clean-lined modern furniture, collected vintage objects or natural materials, making it a flexible choice for layered spaces. Small variations in color, line and texture are natural to both the reclaimed materials and the handwoven process, and they are part of what makes the rug visually individual.

By giving existing Chaput yarns a second use, the rug combines traditional handweaving with a contemporary approach to material reuse. Its irregularities are part of the design and help make each piece unique rather than standardized.
