Run your hand over Structures Fragment 4, a blue designer rug in petrol tones, and you feel the pattern before you see it. The lines by OEO Studio are worked tone on tone, raised in relief, so the drawing appears as the light moves across the room. Where the bamboo silk sits, the surface takes on a subtle shimmer, deeper and cooler than the matt wool around it.

Because the colour stays in one family, the rug brings calm to a living room with a deep blue or grey sofa, white walls and black metal details. It also feels at home in a bedroom with dark wood and crisp cotton bedding, or in a dining room where a marble table can catch a little of its sheen. Brass and warm wood keep the petrol blue from turning cold.

The construction is handtufted, the material a mix of 50% New Zealand wool with 50% bamboo silk, and it is made in India. Its low pile makes it suitable for underfloor heating. A rug finished by hand will always show minor variations in size and shade, and that belongs to the craft. Protect the bamboo silk from moisture: blot immediately, avoid wet cleaning at home and let a professional handle a full clean. Use the vacuum cleaner without its rotating brush.
