We made a better washable rug. Made of recycled materials and done in calm neutrals, with an extraordinarily comfortable pile, these pieces are not mats: they’re the real deal, thick and soft to cushion every step. Plus, their lightness and foldability makes washing easy.
The DesignOur washable Damita Collection is inspired by the 1997 music video Got ’til It’s Gone, by Janet Jackson, Joni Mitchell, and Q-Tip. Visually, this video references the hot 1960’s summer night party scene immortalized by Malian photographer Malick Sidibe. Dynamic geometries swoop and slither in these pieces, all done in earthy neutrals. Mitchell is a rug with bold and vibrant movement. Its top and bottom are flanked in expanded ziggurats, while piano-key stripes and repeating diamonds compose the ground.
The MaterialThese pieces are made with recycled polyester left over from production companies who manufacture polymers for textiles, medical, and engineering purposes, and which would otherwise end up in a landfill. The polyester runoff is transformed through heat into a soft, sustainable fiber with the look and feel of wool. Our recycled poly is highly durable, OEKO-TEX certified for safety, mildew-resistant and machine-washable.
The MakerOur partner in Turkey began as a small family-owned weaving house over 50 years ago, with only two looms. Today, they’re recognized as an award-winning leader in weaving technology, even making their own yarn for their various types of textile production.
The DesignerOur in-house, all-star design team collaborates across three different countries. Based in Los Angeles, Istanbul, and Mumbai, they put a lot of thought into each and every collection they design. Starting with the weave itself, they determine material and technique, then create moodboards to capture the look and feel before starting to design. When designs are finalized, they conduct an extensive sampling process, perfecting each style and color before it goes to production.
- When it's time for a deeper clean, machine wash your rug with like colors on delicate with 1 TBSP of gentle detergent.
- For size 5’ x 8’ we recommend using a 60lb (8cu ft) commercial washing machine, for 6’ x 9’ we recommend an 80lb (11.5cu ft) commercial washing machine, and for 8’ x 10’ we recommend a 100lb (13.5cu ft) commercial washing machine. Please call your local laundromat ahead of time to determine if the right washer size is available.
- For sizes 9’ x 12’ and above, spot or dry clean.
- Preferably line dry. Alternatively, tumble dry on no or low heat setting.
- If your rug is heavily soiled, or if it’s tough to find a laundromat, dry cleaning is recommended
