Hart Collection

Finely woven, fairly priced. Jute is a strong, eco-friendly natural fiber. Both biodegradable and carbon-neutral, it’s beloved for these qualities as well as its natural variation in tone. Unlike the chunkier jutes out there, Hart is a refined flatweave thanks to its fine fibers, which we’ve hand-sorted by shade for a nuanced, brindled look.

You do need a rug pad
Here's why

Why You Need a Rug Pad

While we recommend a rug pad for all rugs, they’re especially important for flatweaves, whose slim profile requires extra padding.

A rug pad prevents unwanted bunching and sliding, adds a subtle lift, and gives your rug a more cushioned feel underfoot.

Our rug pads are made of recycled felt and natural rubber, whereas lesser rug pads’ thin, sticky web can damage your flooring.

Moisture and mildew resistant, a rug pad stops dirt and grime from settling in your rug’s fibers.

The right rug pad

A must-have for flatweaves and other lower-pile pieces, a rug pad is the secret ingredient to maintaining your rug’s appearance and longevity. Width-wise, you’ll want to trim your rug pad so it’s 1-2” shorter than your rug on all four sides. Height-wise, we offer two premium rug pad options, both made of cozy recycled felt and natural rubber.

An elegant and flexible jute rug with a checkered design

Hart was voted "Best Natural Fiber Rug" by NYT Wirecutter in 2022 and 2023

  • 100% natural jute
  • Flatweave: approximately .2" thick (5-6mm)
  • Color palette: tan, sandstone, cream, warm vanilla beige
  • Low-shed and biodegradable
  • Please note: repeated sun exposure will cause fading
  • Due to its handmade nature a 5% variance in size, color and texture is to be expected.
  • Vacuum on low power with a non-rotary (no spinning brush) vacuum or suction attachment only.
  • Professional cleaning recommended as needed.
  • Rotate your rug on occasion to ensure even wear over time.
  • Keep away from excessive moisture.
  • Due to the hand-crafted nature of our rugs, you can expect to see light shedding, matting, and signs of fiber and thread breakage over time. For high traffic areas, these effects may occur more quickly and easily.
  • Do not dry clean or steam clean.
  • Spot cleaning instructions:
    • Lightly dampen a paper towel or cloth with clean water
    • Gently blot the affected area with your damp towel or cloth to dilute the stain
    • If the stain persists, try using an unscented, citrus-free, clear soap to avoid bleaching the textile.
    • Repeat this process until the stain is removed

The Design

Checkered Hart is a fresh spin on Hart, the best-priced, best-woven jute rug on the market. Hart is beloved for its nuanced, natural variation of hues. In this piece, bleached jute is juxtaposed with natural jute in a cheeky classic check pattern.

The Material

  • Jute is a natural fiber with a golden sheen, known for its tensile strength and versatility
  • Handspun weft expresses jute's natural irregularities and textures
  • An eco-conscious crop, jute has minimal water needs, and consumes large enough quantities of carbon dioxide that it's C02-neutral
  • Jute has a desirable variation of hue and texture, which we've played up with a tonal gradation
  • Over time, the fibers' sheen will lessen, giving the rug a slightly more muted, less saturated tone.

The Maker

Our partner is the third weaving generation of his family, and heads a small weaving house known for their unparalleled skill. A perfectionist with color, he and his team take great pride in their work, which is evident in their final product. Plus, he designed this piece for us! A true talent in every way.
