ARBOREAL COLLECTION
Each rug found in our Arboreal Collection has the faraway feel of a centuries-old story that has been woven into the piece — a wise secret whispered from a less complicated time or a soon to be lost culture. The Arboreal Collection opens the door to this secret story garden, beckoning us to explore its wild abandon and delicate beauty.
