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.
Verified claims
- Design heritage
- The Stem pattern, sketched in 2000, reflects Kiely's mid-century influences and design philosophy.
- Construction
- 100% wool rug hand-tufted with Brink & Campman, 17mm pile.
- Colorway design
- Ecru tone-on-tone colorway with a red-orange border.
- Origin
- The Stem pattern, sketched in 2000, became Orla Kiely's defining motif and is often compared to the Burberry check or Paul Smith stripe in brand recognition.
- Rug execution
- 100% wool hand-tufted rug with a 12mm pile and 17mm total thickness, tone-on-tone ecru palette, and red-orange border.
- Colorway effect
- Ecru tone-on-tone makes the large pattern a subtle textural anchor.
- Design evolution
- The ecru rug re-scales and re-colors Kiely's Stem motif.
- Backing
- Integrated cotton and latex backing provides built-in non-slip grip, eliminates the need for a separate rug pad, and helps the rug lay flat without curling at edges.
- Pile height
- 12 mm pile height provides cushioned medium-pile feel and warmth on hard floors.
- Pile thickness
- 17mm total thickness (12mm pile) with 2500g/m² density provides a plusher feel than typical 13mm luxury rugs.
- Maintenance
- Regular vacuuming manages normal wool shedding; spot-clean with mild wool-safe detergent.
- Visual anchor
- The 250×350cm ecru version anchors rooms as a subtle commanding focal point for layered decor.
- Shedding
- Initial shedding is normal; subsides within weeks to a couple of months with vacuuming.
- Cleaning
- Blot spills immediately—never rub—with a mild wool-safe detergent mixed with water; test in an inconspicuous area first, and use professional wool rug cleaning for deep soiling.
- Pile quality
- At 17mm total thickness, the rug is about 30% deeper than the 13mm thickness typical of luxury hand-tufted wool rugs.
- Design pedigree
- Stem pattern is Orla Kiely's iconic motif, crafted by premium rug maker Brink & Campman.
- Everyday durability
- The 100% pure new wool gives the rug longer, more resilient fibers than rugs made from recycled or generic wool, which translates to better crush resistance and a softer initial feel that becomes gentler with age.
