Hart is an elegant and flexible flatweave of all-natural jute, which looks as good alone as it does layered underneath another rug (or two).

Hart was voted "Best Natural Fiber Rug" by NYT Wirecutter in 2022 and 2023.

Rug Type:
  • Flatweave Rugs

    Reversible rugs without pile, also known as kilims, made by hand-weaving horizontal weft yarns through vertical warp yarns

Age:
  • New

    Recently woven and never used in a home

Main Color:
  • Cream
  • 100% natural jute
  • Flatweave: approximately .2” thick (5-6mm)
  • Fibers are hand-sorted by color for a subtle, brindled look
  • Low-shed, easy to clean, and biodegradable
  • Slight variations in size due to handmade nature
  • Bleaching jute is a careful process which entails fading the color while maintaining the fiber’s desirable variation of hue and natural durability

The Design

Hart is beloved for its nuanced, variation of color, and finely-woven to create a delicate ombre. Bonus: this means it collects less dust.

The Material
  • Jute is a natural fiber with a golden sheen, known for its tensile strength and versatility
  • An eco-conscious crop, jute has minimal water needs, and consumes large enough quantities of carbon dioxide that it’s carbon-neutral
  • Handspun weft expresses the fiber's natural irregularities and textures
  • Jute has a desirable variation of hue and texture, which we’ve played up with a tonal gradation
The Maker

Our partner is the third weaving generation of his family, and heads a small weaving house known for their unparalleled skill. A perfectionist with color, he and his team take great pride in their work, which is evident in their final product.

A Note on Curling

Because Hart is so finely woven, moisture in the air can occasionally make its edges curl up. A simple solve for this is to bend back that corner of the rug so you can curl the edge in the opposite direction, rolling it into a little burrito back and forth until it lies flat. See what we mean here .

  • Clean regularly with a non-rotary, low-powered vacuum. Do not use beater brush.
  • Rotate your rug on occasion to ensure even wear over time.
  • Keep away from excessive moisture.
  • Do not dry clean or steam clean.
  • Professional cleaning recommended as needed.
  • In case of spills, use a paper towel or cloth to blot the liquid. Add some clean water sparingly to the spot to dilute the stain (or wet a paper towel or cloth) and blot gently, not vigorously. Check to make sure there’s no citrus in your soap before using; this could bleach your rug. Repeat this process until the stain is removed. If the stain is persistent, try using a mild detergent, or a mixture of 1:1 white vinegar and water. Repeat this process until the stain is removed.
  • Keep away from excessive moisture as jute is very absorbent.

You do need a rug pad
Here's why

Why You Need a Rug Pad

While we recommend a rug pad for all rugs, they’re especially important for flatweaves, whose slim profile requires extra padding.

A rug pad prevents unwanted bunching and sliding, adds a subtle lift, and gives your rug a more cushioned feel underfoot.

Our rug pads are made of recycled felt and natural rubber, whereas lesser rug pads’ thin, sticky web can damage your flooring.

Moisture and mildew resistant, a rug pad stops dirt and grime from settling in your rug’s fibers.

The right rug pad

A must-have for flatweaves and other lower-pile pieces, a rug pad is the secret ingredient to maintaining your rug’s appearance and longevity. Width-wise, you’ll want to trim your rug pad so it’s 1-2” shorter than your rug on all four sides. Height-wise, we offer two premium rug pad options, both made of cozy recycled felt and natural rubber.
