Soft and simple contemporary high-pile wool rugs, the Ladder Collection is truly striking in person. Our design team played into the linear quality of the weave with simple border designs, allowing the yarn's colorful abrash to shine. These pieces have a dappled off-white field bordered by simple linework on the long edges. Joist has a striped center and solid borders with thicker, shorter lines which add a sense of movement. Rugs with design details along their kilim or selvedge edges (the long sides, not the top and bottom) are perfect for dining rooms, because if you put a table in the middle, the edge detail still shines. Woven with a hand-tufting technique which creates distinct horizontal lines, these rugs are inspired by Roland Fischer's photo series 'Facades', which studies the graphic patterns that emerge on the front of skyscrapers when viewed closely.
