7x11 Multicolor Recycled Chaput Rug - 50295

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 surface is organized as an all-over composition, with color and texture distributed continuously across the field. This gives the rug a relaxed modern character and allows the different reclaimed fibers to contribute equally to the overall design.

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.

Every finished piece is different because the available reclaimed yarns, their colors and their fiber content vary from rug to rug. That variation is central to the appeal of this recycled Chaput kilim: it is not a reproduction, but a newly handwoven textile with its own material history and visual identity.
