Shinin' On

We would like to introduce some of our staff member MK's recent favorite tribal rugs.

This is the rug I would recommend first to anyone looking for a compact size like this.

What makes it so great is that it's a soothing rug with a glossy finish and a soft, comfortable feel.

Look at this shine!

Shine!

TSUYA!!

Change your facial expression

The color of handmade rugs changes depending on the direction of the pile, but this one's color is particularly obvious.

↑It looks darker when viewed from the opposite side

↑It looks bright when viewed from the front

I regret that I can't express it in words, but the wool is soft, smooth and feels great to the touch.

I measured the thickness and it was 1.5cm! It's quite plump among tribal rugs. It doesn't feel like you're sitting on the bottom, just like a Gabbeh, so you'll want to lie down on it (or curl up in it, since it's a little small).

Changes over time

And then I realized.

As I was stroking this fur, thinking how nice it felt to touch, I noticed that the base of the fur was a beautiful color.

↑Surface color

The rug was probably woven using vibrantly colored yarn, and over time the color on the surface has faded, making it softer and more natural.

The original color is beautiful, and the color that has changed over time is also cool.

The base red is not too strong and has a gentle vermilion-like color.

I remember that it's become popular recently to slightly bleach or change the color of just the inside of your hair. It's a stylish look that looks like it's about to be visible, but isn't, and occasionally you can see a little bit. When you think about it like that, this girl is also quite stylish.

Also, when you look at the rug as a whole, it has an elegant and mature impression, but when you look at just the blue thread, it has a refreshing soda-like color, and since it's a soothing rug, I like how it gives off an oasis-like feel.

The pattern is gorgeous, like flowers blooming in abundance, giving it an oasis-like feel.

The center of the medallion is probably a rosette motif.

If I use it...

The selling points of this carpet are its shine and thickness, so I would like to lay it in a place where I sit or stand every day without placing any furniture on top of it.

I have a habit of sitting in front of the mirror every morning while getting ready, so that's where I'd like to put it!

It's compact in size, so it seems just right.

But it's so comfortable you probably won't want to move from there...

As I mentioned earlier, the brightness of the color changes depending on the direction in which it is laid, so I like to change the direction in which it is laid depending on the season or my mood at the time and enjoy different looks.

What did you think?

Contrary to the strong-sounding name of the town of Zanjan, this tribal rug gently embraces your life.

Perhaps modern people who work busy every day really need a soothing rug like this.
