Badjau Rug

Description

DescriptionThe Badjau Rug is a large rectangular rug in deep black, with a geometric pattern carved into the pile. Bands of short diagonal lines run in blocks that change direction across the surface, so the design reads as texture rather than print, and a soft sheen moves over it as the light shifts through the day. It is 230cm long and 160cm wide, a size that comfortably anchors a seating area, and just 0.9cm thick, so it lies low and flat on the floor. This is a rug for indoor rooms.
We would put it in a living room, laid under the front legs of a sofa and chairs with a coffee table at its centre, or in a bedroom beneath the foot of a bed, so your first steps in the morning land on the rug rather than a bare floor. Deep black works well against pale oak, light stone or a neutral carpet, where the carved pattern and its sheen show up clearly. On a darker floor it reads more quietly, as a soft block of shadow that grounds the furniture. It suits anyone building a monochrome or dark, moody scheme who wants pattern without bringing in another colour.
Turn a corner over and you will find a grey woven backing and a neatly bound black edge that keeps the sides tidy. At 12.88KG it has real heft, so a second pair of hands helps when you first unroll it and set it in place. Care is spot clean only, so it is not one for the washing machine: deal with a spill straight away using a clean, damp cloth, and blot gently rather than scrubbing so the carved pile keeps its crisp lines. Before you order, mark out 230cm by 160cm on the floor with masking tape to see exactly how it sits with your furniture.
