6x9 Multicolor Recycled Chaput Rug - 50285

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.

Its construction begins with Chaput kilims that are carefully dismantled to reclaim their yarns. The recovered material is then reorganized and woven by hand into a new rug, preserving useful fibers while creating an entirely different contemporary design. The fiber mix may combine wool, cotton, goat hair, hemp and other reclaimed textile materials from the original Chaput kilims. The variety of fibers gives the finished surface a richly tactile quality and makes every rug visually distinct.

Its recycled construction makes it easy to style in modern and contemporary rooms, but the handmade texture also works beautifully with rustic wood, linen, leather and other natural materials. The rug can be used as a strong focal point or as a textured foundation beneath simpler furniture. 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.

No two rugs can be exactly the same, since the reclaimed Chaput yarns available for each weaving differ in color, fiber and thickness. This makes the finished rug a one-of-a-kind contemporary piece shaped by both traditional handweaving and a practical approach to material reuse.
