7x10 Multicolor Recycled Chaput Rug - 50309

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. 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.

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.
