subtle, rustic accessory made from plaited natural jute ideal on hard floors and carpets matching runner available this chunky-textured rug is made from plaited indian jute, which boasts a naturally silvered colour. with a subtle pattern, it's just the thing to bring a fresh and rustic look to any home, and is ideal for protecting hardworking parts of the home, such as kitchens, hallways and living rooms. consciously crafted jute is a natural fibre that doesn't rely on insecticides or pesticides, making it completely biodegradable. the plant reaches maturity quickly – between four and six months – so it is an incredibly efficient source of renewable materials. relying on natural rainfall (rather than extensive and energy-consumptive irrigation systems), it also absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen much faster than trees, and enhances the fertility of the soil it grows in for future crops.
