HEATHER CHONTOS RUG COLLECTION
A collection grounded in advanced dyeing techniques and refined craftsmanship. Explore three handcrafted wool rugs where LAYERED's expertise in textiles blends with American artist Heather Chontos’ dynamic approach to art. Based in the rural landscape of Portugal, Chontos is known for her visceral and spontaneous paintings.
A collaboration that translates impulsive brushstrokes and organic forms into tactile interior landscapes.
Each rug in the collection is meticulously crafted from 100% New Zealand wool, a material selected for its natural luster and ability to hold vibrant pigments. The hand-knotting process allows the artisans to faithfully render the complex details and subtle color gradations of Chontos’ original work.
The wool is custom-dyed to match her exact palette, ensuring every knot adds depth and vitality. Capturing these intricate abstract patterns demands a slow, deliberate weaving process, an unparalleled precision that transforms each piece into a textile canvas.
Available in standard and bespoke sizes.
