How I found out about Layout

I passed by it about two years ago and it was so beautiful that I knew I had to go to Layout when I bought a Gabbeh.

What made you want a rug?

I've always admired handwoven Gabbehs and loved their thick, fluffy texture. I'd been using a work chair, but for some reason I found I could concentrate better on a stool, so I swapped it out. However, it was causing pain in my bottom, so I decided to buy the Gabbeh I'd always wanted.

The deciding factor in choosing the rug

The colors were mainly beige and green, which matched the interior of the room.
It has a unique luster that is not found in other Gabbehs, and the expression of the hazy pattern is beautiful. The green part is like a jewel and is beautiful.

My impressions after laying the rug

Even when placed on a flat stool, it's super soft and comfortable to sit on! The pattern catches your eye every time you head to your desk, making it a space that makes you want to sit down right away.

Concerns and worries about lag

Nothing in particular! If there's anything I need to know, please let me know!

Other advice for those looking for a rug

Gabbeh rugs have a strong personality, so some people may be worried about whether they will blend in well, but once you lay it down, it seems to blend in quite naturally. Even if you feel like it looks out of place after purchasing it, adding more items in the same color as the rug may make it look better.
