Wittgenstein's high, enveloping back and sides, upholstered in rich, vertically channeled velvet, recall the geometry of Viennese Modernism, softened through the tactile generosity of velvet. It It performs an architectural function: not only a seat, but a room within a room, where furniture and space collapse into one another. The vertical rhythm of the tufting channels hints at classical proportions, but its scale and clarity place it firmly in the lineage of rationalism. The chair becomes a site of withdrawal and reflection, its enclosure inviting introspection, a modernist retreat from chaos. Through the lens of Ludwig Wittgenstein's architectural intervention at the Stonborough House in Vienna, his insistence on absolute precision and formal logic finds an unlikely companion here. The chair is monastic without being cold; rational, but humane. Its elevated stance on dark, slender legs creates a subtle tension between mass and lightness.
It stages a quiet drama of form, space, and psychological tactility—an object of solitude that speaks in the language of modernity.

Sustainability & Wellbeing
The wool for our rugs is a renewable resource. Every year sheep grow a new fleece which must be shorn for the health and hygiene of the animal. New Zealand's sheep graze on open pastures and are raised in healthy natural environments. Wool is fully biodegradable and compostable. Unlike plastics, wool does not release micro-plastics into our oceans and seas.
Contributing to energy saving, up to 10% of the heat in a room which would be dissipated with other floor coverings can be retained with rugs.
Rugs contribute to a better indoor air quality with their dust-trapping properties. Dust settles and is held by the pile fibers of the rug until it is vacuumed.
The fibers of a rug provide a cushioning effect. Both infants and the elderly benefit from the soft surfaces of rugs. In the event of a fall, the soft resilience of the rug lowers the risk of injury.
Noise can have a serious effect on wellbeing. Our rugs, pillows and upholstered furniture can reduce impact noise by up to 30dB.
Our brass accessories are non-magnetic, long-lasting and antimicrobal, eliminating moulds, fungi, algae and bacteria.

Care for your brass accessories
For normal cleaning, use a soft cloth.
For heavy cleaning, create a flour/vinegar paste. Mix one teaspoon of salt into a 1/2 cup of vinegar. Add flour until the liquid becomes a paste and spread over the brass. Let the mixture sit for an hour, then rinse and buff.
