7x11 Multicolor Recycled Chaput Rug - 50292

Created as a new rug from reclaimed Chaput yarns, this handwoven piece uses a softened, naturally varied palette with multicolor tones helping organize the overall composition. The result is a contemporary recycled rug with visible texture, natural variation and the kind of irregularity that gives handmade weaving its character. The composition has a clean contemporary character, allowing color, texture and the irregularity of the reclaimed yarns to define the surface. The result feels modern without losing the warmth and individuality of handweaving.

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 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.
