"Just the right balance"

Hello !
I heard the news that the rainy season has already started in southern Kyushu.

In Tokyo too, we are living through days that feel like the footsteps of the rainy season are slowly approaching.

The rainy season is depressing, but there's something comforting about the seasons changing in a chronological order rather than the sudden change of seasons...

Now, the rug I'd like to introduce this time is a Gabbeh that has a nice balance of various features.
The size is neither too small nor too big.
The color is neither too white nor too colorful.
The pattern is neither too plain nor too loud.
Just the right amount.


208 x 153 cm high quality Gabbeh rug with long pile.
It is a finely woven piece with short pile.
However, the rug is tightly woven, so it feels firm underfoot.
It feels soft to the touch.


I don't really like long pile rugs, but I also like short pile rugs like tribal rugs.

Those who want something that is neither too thick nor too thin, or who like something with a longer pile,
It is also recommended for those who want to create a room with a cute atmosphere, but don't want it to be too cute.
The pile is slightly shorter than that of a normal Gabbeh, so the traditional pattern and the lines surrounding it are expressed more sharply, giving the rug an overall modern look.


The large and small rectangular windows that surround the rug in a double layer show one or two trees, flowers, or animals nearby, as if recording the daily changes that the craftsmen have witnessed.

Was he moved by this one tree at that time?
I wonder if one of the livestock they kept had a baby that day.
There is even a day when you might encounter an alien, and you get the feeling that time is passing richly, like looking at a picture diary or turning the pages of a daily calendar.

Recently, it looks like an Iranian version of the flower, bird, wind, and moon designs on Hanafuda cards that have been popular among my family, and it makes me feel a sense of familiarity and a longing for a foreign country.

The colors are a gentle contrast of off-white, light gray, and dark gray, made using raw sheep's wool.
The colorful small window pattern has the soft atmosphere that is characteristic of Gabbeh, and it has both modern and classic merits. For those who are creating a room with a limited number of colors, small colors are the key point.
For those who enjoy combining many different colors, this would be the perfect piece to bring your room together.
As the weather gets warmer, wool rugs are not only the perfect item for creating a comfortable room, but are also the best item.
In a room with the air conditioner on, your feet will feel smooth and not sticky.
The surface temperature is said to be around 20 degrees, so it's not too cold and is very comfortable.
We hope you enjoy living with a wool rug this summer!
