The Empire Modern Geometric Grid Rug in Cream and Black embodies modern sophistication and architectural precision, combining bold geometry with luxurious hand-woven texture. Crafted in India from 100% New Zealand wool, this rug delivers both exceptional softness and lasting durability, designed to bring depth, structure, and a sense of understated luxury to contemporary interiors.

Its geometric grid pattern is defined by a high-low hand-carved pile, where raised rectangular and linear forms contrast beautifully against a darker recessed base. The interplay of texture and tone creates a tactile three-dimensional effect that draws the eye and enhances spatial balance. The monochromatic palette of soft cream and black detailing lends a crisp, contemporary edge, while the organic handwoven finish softens the design, ensuring warmth and comfort underfoot.

Perfect for living rooms, dining spaces, or bedrooms, this rug offers the ideal balance between graphic impact and timeless refinement — a versatile piece that anchors modern décor with texture, dimension, and visual intrigue.

The colours and shades present in this rug include:

• Cream – The dominant tone forming the raised grid pattern, adding warmth and a clean, modern foundation.

• Charcoal Black – The recessed base outlining each rectangular segment, introducing depth and contrast for a structured, architectural look.

• Soft Grey Undertones – Subtle wool variations visible within the cream areas, giving a natural tonal richness.

The Empire Modern Geometric Grid Hand-Woven Textured Hi-Low Wool Rug in Cream/Black features a beautifully sculpted high-low surface that highlights its bold grid design with striking clarity. The balance between cream raised sections and black recessed lines gives the rug a distinctive, modern identity that suits a variety of interior styles — from minimalist Scandinavian to contemporary urban lofts.

Handmade from 100% pure wool, this rug is naturally soft, durable, and insulating, while its 10–16mm pile provides tactile comfort and sculptural texture. The neutral palette ensures seamless styling within both light and dark schemes, pairing effortlessly with wood, stone, or metal finishes.

Ideal for those seeking a statement piece that feels both graphic and grounded, the Empire Cream/Black Rug combines artisanal craftsmanship with a distinctly modern sensibility.

The Empire collection celebrates geometry and precision, showcasing hand-carved designs that transform simple grids into tactile works of art. Each piece is crafted using premium New Zealand wool and finished by hand to deliver superior softness, durability, and texture — making it a lasting expression of contemporary design excellence.

🐑 Handmade Wool Rug Characteristics
Our handmade wool rugs are individually crafted, so each one is unique with natural variations known as abrash in colour, size, design, pattern, yarn, stitching, and texture. Shedding is normal and expected with all wool rugs — sometimes lasting for the rug’s entire life — but it does not affect durability. Loose fibres and stray threads can simply be trimmed with scissors (never pulled) to avoid damage. These natural characteristics, along with mixed yarn colours, slight imperfections, and subtle texture differences, add charm and authenticity rather than being faults. Synthetic latex backing may create a temporary smell, and wool may have a natural, earthy scent which fades over time. If you prefer a perfectly uniform look, machine-made synthetic rugs may be more suitable, and any exchange will still have its own unique variations.
