DESCRIPTION
This contemporary round rug is defined by a centered medallion and a botanical border rendered in a classic, traditional vocabulary. The circular format softens a room’s geometry while still offering a structured focal point—ideal for creating a “designed” moment without overwhelming the space.
The palette balances depth and calm: dark brown and black provide contrast and grounding, while beige and medium gray keep the field light and livable. A muted sage accent adds an organic note that pairs beautifully with wood tones, warm neutrals, and collected interiors.
Hand-knotted from New Zealand wool, the Medallion offers a medium pile that feels substantial underfoot while maintaining crisp definition in the pattern—an elegant choice for living rooms, bedrooms, reading corners, and under round dining tables.

FAQ

What does “100% New Zealand wool” mean for feel and durability?
New Zealand wool is prized for its softness, resilience, and natural performance—making it an excellent choice for comfortable, long-wearing rugs.

Round rugs are ideal for entryways, breakfast nooks, reading corners, bedrooms, and under round dining tables—anywhere you want to soften straight lines and create a focal point.
