Christopher Farr Bauhaus Runner Plate 180: A work of art by Gunta Stölzl
Celebrate the centenary of the Bauhaus with the exclusive Christopher Farr Bauhaus runner, inspired by the visionary design of Gunta Stölzl. As a pioneer and first master of the Bauhaus, Stölzl significantly influenced the world of hand weaving. This hand-tufted runner draws on her 1920s design, based on the original drawing of a wall hanging that is now a prized private collector's item.
Manufactured in close collaboration with Stölzl's daughters, Yael Aloni and Monika Stadler, the runner embodies both tradition and modernity. Limited to just 150 copies, this Bauhaus runner will quickly become a sought-after 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 in his furniture designs today. After important positions in Krefeld and Zurich, she returned to the Bauhaus in 1925 before emigrating to Switzerland in 1931. As a champion of modern textile design, Stölzl has 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 unparalleled talent. A must for every 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 pointers to ensure your hand-tufted wool rug stays in top shape for a long time:
-
Vacuum Regularly: 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: If you have spilled liquids, you should act quickly. Immediately blot the stain with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub as this may make the stain worse. For stubborn stains, a special wool cleaning agent or a mild soap solution can be helpful.
-
Rotate the Carpet: To ensure even wear, you should rotate the carpet every few months, especially if it is in a location that gets a lot of sunlight or foot traffic.
-
Avoid direct sunlight: Direct sunlight can fade the colors of your wool rug. Consider placing the rug so that it is not constantly exposed to sunlight or using curtains or blinds to filter the light.
-
Professional Cleaning: Depending on the usage and specific conditions of your home, it may make sense to have your hand-tufted wool rug professionally cleaned every 1-2 years.
-
Moth Prevention: Wool carpets can attract moths. To prevent this, vacuum under the carpet regularly and check periodically for signs of moth infestation.
-
Storage: If you need to store your rug for an extended period of time, roll it (instead of folding it) and store it in a cool, dry place. Use moth repellent and check the carpet regularly.
A hand-tufted wool rug is an investment in beauty and quality. With the right care, it can last for many years, if not decades, while maintaining an attractive appearance.
