6x9 Multicolor Recycled Chaput Rug - 50291

Handwoven in Turkey from reclaimed Chaput fibers, this recycled rug is defined by a balanced mix of reclaimed tones 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. Wool, cotton, goat hair, hemp and other textile fibers can all appear within the reclaimed material. Instead of hiding those differences, the handweaving uses them as part of the design, producing subtle changes in texture, density and color across the rug.

The rug works especially well in contemporary, modern, eclectic and relaxed interiors where natural texture is as important as color. It can anchor a living room or bedroom, add warmth to a dining area, or introduce a distinctive handmade element to an otherwise minimal space. 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.
