Tide Rug
Originating from a rug proposal for No. 10 Downing Street, Christopher Farr’s Tide Rug has a (politically) neutral background with boldly colored lines that add a sense of spaciousness to larger rooms.

Like all Farr’s designs, Tide is hand spun and handtufted of fine wool and manually dyed in small batches to create rich tonal nuances in the strands. It’s guaranteed to grow more beautiful with time as the wool's natural lanolin emerges and invigorates the surface, creating enhanced luster over the years. Each rug is signed by the designer and numbered. Made in India.
