Museum-Quality Craftsmanship
Inspired by Chinese Art Deco Style
Our design approach draws inspiration from the golden age of Shanghai’s 1920s and 30s, when East met West in an explosion of geometric sophistication. Traditional Chinese symbolism is reinterpreted through the bold, linear vocabulary of Art Deco design, creating an aesthetic that feels simultaneously ancient and modern.

Care & Maintenance +
Vacuum regularly using a brushless suction head or the upholstery attachment. For hand-knotted rugs, vacuum in the direction of the pile. Avoid beater bars, which can damage fibers and loosen knots.
Address spills immediately: blot, never rub, with a clean white cloth, working from the outside in. For liquid spills, absorb as much as possible before applying any cleaning solution.
For most stains, mix a small amount of mild dish soap with cool water, apply sparingly with a cloth, then blot with a damp cloth to remove soap residue. Dry thoroughly.
Silk and bamboo silk is particularly delicate. Use Capture dry carpet cleaner for routine cleaning.
Size & Fit Guide +
Living Rooms: Use a rug large enough for all furniture legs to sit on, or at minimum front legs of sofas and chairs.
Dining Rooms: Allow 24 to 30 inches beyond all sides of the table so chairs remain on the rug when pulled out.
Bedrooms: The rug should extend at least 18 to 24 inches on each side and at the foot of the bed.
Distance from Walls: Leave 12 to 18 inches of floor exposed between the rug edge and walls for proper proportion.
