Design Within Reach Rug Collection
Designed and produced in collaboration with Obeetee, which has specialized in handwoven rugs for nearly a century, the DWR Rug Collection offers a curated assortment of exclusive textiles. The finest natural materials are woven to create these floor coverings, bringing warmth, texture, and modern design to any room.
The quality is woven in — Our exclusive rug collection is entirely handcrafted from all-natural fibers such as wool, silk, linen, cotton, and jute, as well as recycled fibers, ensuring lasting durability. From dyeing the yarn to cutting the fibers to washing for extra luster, every step is hand-done by artisans in India who have been passing down these techniques for generations.
How our rugs are handcrafted
Handwoven or handloomed rugs are woven by hand on a loom by a team of weavers who use a long steel rod to shuttle the yarn across a foundation of vertical warp threads. These handloomed rugs can be cut pile (a soft, plush rug with fibers cut to a uniform length), looped pile (still soft, but with durable looped fibers), or a mix of cut and looped pile.
Handknotted rugs are made on a vertical loom, where an artisan hand-ties each individual piece of yarn onto a foundation of warp threads. This is the most intricate, labor-intensive rug weaving technique. The finished rug is then sheared to produce a uniform surface, hand-washed for added luster, and dried.
Flatweave rugs are handwoven on a loom by intertwining warp and weft yarns, resulting in a flat rug with no pile. These are particularly durable and good for high-traffic areas.
Soumak rugs are woven with an incredibly strong construction technique that gives the look of a braided surface.
Natural
Wool
Wool is the most commonly used fiber for our rugs. It’s a luxe and lasting material, incredibly durable, naturally cleanable, and very soft and cozy underfoot.
Silk
Silk is the most lustrous, luxurious fiber, with a soft hand and subtle sheen. It’s often mixed with wool for added durability. Professional cleaning is recommended.
Jute
Jute is a very strong, renewable fiber that offers great natural texture. It can be harder to remove stains from jute, but it’s a highly durable material that wears well in high-traffic areas.
