Ritual is built into the design, encouraging simple moments of connection. 

Care: Vacuum regularly to remove dirt and excess fuzz that may accumulate on the rugs surface. We recommend a stationary soft brush edge that will gently massage the pile. Consider flipping the rug over and vacuuming the underside of the rug as well.  Properly cushion and secure your rug with a gripper pad.  Get your rugs professionally cleaned at regular intervals, once or twice a year.  In-between, do as the berbers do.  The traditional Moroccan technique– hanging your rug to bake in the sun for a few hours, shaking out the dust and dirt before bringing it back into your home. This is the best method for consistent maintenance of your rug.
