Chattai are floor mats woven in villages in India, and in Asia, they cover the floors of houses. They are hand-woven from natural materials in hemp, cotton and linen threads.
Flexible, light, easy to move around homes, they soften contact with the ground and protect from heat. They perfectly dress the surfaces of homes in an authentic and minimalist style, imbued with the poetry of Arte Povera.
They are juxtaposed and assembled to cover the floors. They bring a feeling of well-being indoors and outdoors. They protect from the heat thanks to the insulating quality of hemp and linen when walked on barefoot. They are also used as wall hangings.
The combinations of natural, ecological, hand-spun, dyed and woven yarns give them a unique feel and hand. The hemp threads have a massaging effect softened by an organic cotton weft, the linen provides softness. The design is inspired by the leaves of Katmauli, a lucky Indian plant, a sign of welcome.
The rugs are woven on traditional horizontal wooden 2-arm looms by our artisan weavers.
