Christopher Farr Bauhaus Runner Plate 180: A Work of Art by Gunta Stölzl
Celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the Bauhaus with the exclusive Christopher Farr Bauhaus runner, inspired by the visionary design of Gunta Stölzl. A pioneer and the first female master of the Bauhaus, Stölzl made a significant impact on the world of handloom art. This hand-tufted runner echoes her 1920s design, based on the original drawing of a wall hanging that is now a treasured private collector's item.
Made in close collaboration with Stölzl's daughters, Yael Aloni and Monika Stadler, the runner embodies both tradition and modernity. Limited to only 150 pieces, this Bauhaus runner is quickly becoming a coveted collector's item.
Stölzl's impressive career began in 1919 at the Bauhaus in Weimar. Her collaboration with Marcel Breuer resulted in iconic textiles that can still be seen on his furniture designs. After significant stints in Krefeld and Zurich, she returned to the Bauhaus in 1925 before emigrating to Switzerland in 1931. A champion of modern textile design, Stölzl left her unmistakable mark on design history.
Acquire a piece of history with this unique runner that embodies the essence of the Bauhaus and Gunta Stölzl's incomparable talent. A must have for any design lover and historian.
Hand-tufted wool rugs are not only luxurious and aesthetically pleasing additions to any room, but they are also durable and long-lasting when properly cared for. Here are some tips and advice to ensure your hand-tufted wool rug stays in top shape for a long time:
-
Regular vacuuming: Vacuuming your wool carpet at least once a week will help remove dust, dirt and allergens. When vacuuming, avoid using a rotating brush as it can damage the fibers.
-
Stain removal: You should act quickly in the event of a spill. Dab the stain immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can make the stain worse. For stubborn stains, a special wool cleaning agent or a mild soap solution may be helpful.
-
Turn the rug: To ensure even wear and tear, you should rotate the rug every few months, especially if it is located in a place that is exposed to a lot of sunlight or foot traffic.
-
Avoid direct sunlight: Direct sunlight can cause the colors of your wool rug to fade. Consider placing the rug so that it is not constantly exposed to sunlight or use curtains or blinds to filter the light.
-
Professional cleaning: Depending on the usage and specific conditions of your home, it may be wise to have your hand-tufted wool carpet professionally cleaned every 1-2 years.
-
Moth Prevention: Wool carpets can attract moths. To prevent this, vacuum regularly under the rug and check it periodically for signs of moth infestation.
-
Storage: If you need to store your rug for a longer period of time, roll it (instead of folding it) and store it in a cool, dry place. Use moth repellent and check the rug regularly.
A hand-tufted wool rug is an investment in beauty and quality. With proper care, it can last for many years, if not decades, while always maintaining an attractive appearance.
