Bauhaus-rug "Study Rug" by Anni Albers - Exclusively by Christopher Farr Editions
Immerse yourself in the timeless design of the Bauhaus style with the unique "Study Rug" rug, inspired by an original textile design by the legendary artist Anni Albers from the 1920s. This artistic design, now reinterpreted as rug, is offered exclusively by the renowned English manufacturer Christopher Farr Editions in two bespoke sizes.
The outstanding graphic design of this rug is based on a wall hanging created by Anni Albers in 1926 during her time at the Bauhaus. This authentic design embodies the quintessence of the Bauhaus style with its harmonious fusion of horizontal and vertical lines. As a testament to its enduring significance and artistic contribution, the original drawing now proudly resides in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Behind this design is the dynamic duo of the 20th century: Anni Albers and Josef Albers. Both were significantly influenced by their time at the Bauhaus. While Josef Albers shaped the Bauhaus with his role as master builder and later as deputy director, Anni Albers made headlines as head of the weaving mill and as an innovative textile artist.
Christopher Farr Editions, with official permission from the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, brings this historic rug design back into the spotlight. This limited edition artist's rug combines art, history and design in one - a true tribute to the legacy of Anni and Josef Albers and the distinctiveness of Bauhaus design.
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.
