Description

Part of our acclaimed Sapphire Collection, Sapphire Sand explores the beauty of texture, light, and materiality through a palette of warm mineral neutrals. Inspired by the refined architectural language found in Belgium's most elegant contemporary residences, this design feels perfectly at home alongside natural stone, mortex, tadelakt, lime plaster, and other tactile surfaces.

Hand-knotted by master artisans in India, Sapphire Sand is crafted from a luxurious blend of approximately 35% pure silk and 65% fine handcarded and handspun wool.

The subtle interplay between matte wool and luminous silk creates an ever-changing surface that responds beautifully to natural light throughout the day. Delicate high-low carving techniques add depth and relief, revealing a sophisticated abstract composition reminiscent of weathered stone walls, layered architectural facades, and softly aged plaster surfaces.

The design balances structure and softness. Its warm sand, ivory, beige, and light taupe tones bring calm and harmony to an interior while retaining visual interest through intricate texture and refined detailing. The fine knot density allows for remarkable precision in both the carved relief and the nuanced transitions between silk and wool.

More than a rug, Sapphire Sand acts as an architectural element within a space grounding interiors with understated luxury and tactile richness. It is particularly suited to contemporary villas, minimalist residences, boutique hospitality projects, and interiors where natural materials take centre stage.

Each Sapphire Sand rug can be fully customised in size, proportions to perfectly complement your project. Inquire for more info and pricing.

Care guide

Wool

Wool is one of the most durable and versatile materials for rugs. It is naturally stain-resistant, resilient, and warm, making it a popular choice for high-traffic areas.

Care Tips:

  1. Regular Vacuuming: Use a suction-only vacuum to remove surface dirt. Avoid using the beater bar to prevent pulling fibers.
  2. Spot Cleaning: Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Use a mixture of mild detergent and water for stubborn stains, but test in a small, inconspicuous area first.
  3. Deep Cleaning: Professional cleaning every 3-5 years will keep the rug vibrant and fresh.
  4. Rotation: Rotate the rug every 6-12 months to ensure even wear.

General Recommendations

  • Rug Pads: Use rug pads to prevent slipping and reduce wear.
  • Sun Protection: Minimize direct sunlight exposure by using curtains or UV-blocking window films.
  • Storage: If storing rugs, roll them with acid-free paper and keep them in a cool, dry place.

Silk

Silk rugs are luxurious, soft, and exhibit a beautiful sheen, often making them statement pieces in a room. However, they are more delicate than wool.

Care Tips:

  1. Gentle Cleaning: Avoid vacuuming with a high-powered vacuum. Use a handheld vacuum with a brushless attachment.
  2. Spot Cleaning: Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as it can damage the fibers.
  3. Professional Cleaning: Always use professional cleaners specializing in silk rugs. Silk requires careful handling and should never be steam-cleaned.
  4. Low-Traffic Areas: Place silk rugs in low-medium traffic or decorative areas to preserve their beauty.

General Recommendations

  • Rug Pads: Use rug pads to prevent slipping and reduce wear.
  • Sun Protection: Minimize direct sunlight exposure by using curtains or UV-blocking window films.
  • Storage: If storing rugs, roll them with acid-free paper and keep them in a cool, dry place.
