Product Insights
Orla Kiely's iconic Stem pattern, sketched in 2000 and as recognizable as the Burberry check, is re-scaled and re-colored in a 100% wool hand-tufted rug by Brink & Campman, featuring a 12mm pile (17mm total) that is 30% deeper than typical luxury hand-tufted rugs. The ecru tone-on-tone colorway with a red-orange border transforms the large motif into a subtle textural anchor, grounding rooms as a commanding yet understated focal point for layered decor. Integrated cotton and latex backing provides non-slip grip and edge protection. The tradeoff is the need to manage initial shedding and regular vacuuming, with spot-cleaning and professional care recommended for deeper soiling.
