Edge

Overview

Edge is a Giorgetti rug from 2016, handmade on a handloom in bamboo silk or natural silk, with a Himalayan wool edge and a cotton weft.

Construction

Edge combines different materials in the same colour shade. Silk and wool placed side by side give a shiny and a matte texture, which behave differently under the light.

Shiny and matte in one shade

The rug is made of different materials in the same colour shade. The silk is shiny and the wool of the edge is matte, and under the light they make different effects.

Subtle monochrome contrasts

These effects make the refinement of the monochrome contrast subtly perceptible. GA013 is 100% bamboo silk and GA014 is 100% natural silk, each with a Himalayan wool edge in one colour.
