Insegna

This sculptural rug transforms the floor into a tactile landscape, merging textile craft with architectural intention. Its surface is composed of modular, relief-like forms that evoke abstract typography. Each block presents an interplay of concavity and protrusion, creating shifting shadows that animate the rug as light moves across it. The deep charcoal palette enhances its monolithic character, allowing texture rather than colour to define its presence. Hand-tufted with a dense, velvety pile, the rug invites touch while maintaining a distinctly sculptural discipline. The overall effect is both graphic and atmospheric: a functional textile that behaves like a low-lying bas-relief. Ideal for contemporary interiors, this piece operates as an artwork underfoot: commanding space through depth, rhythm, and material sophistication.. Handmade by De Caldes artisans in New Zealand wool with a hint of Viscose.

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
Care for your rug
  • Avoid continuous exposure to sunlight.
  • Don't brush or scrub the rug.
  • Vacuum in different directions on low power without brush.
  • Use rug protectors under heavy furniture.
  • Snip threads with scissors, don't pull them out.
  • Have your rug cleaned by experts every 3 years.
  • To store the rug, don't fold, instead roll it with the top side out and wrap in a cloth.
Care for your furniture
  • Vacuum upholstered furniture regularly.
  • Dust wooden parts regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Avoid direct sunlight.
  • Avoid exposure to water.
  • Don't use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Dry immediately with a soft cloth if it gets wet.
  • When cleaning wood furniture, wipe in the direction of the grain.
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.
