Best Hem Rope

Deeply textural, extremely functional, pleasantly tactile—the Rope Rug series is an innovative take on a familiar typology. Designer Pauline Deltour was inspired to reimagine the endlessly practical traditional Japanese tatami mat, but with rope to create a chunkier and more durable textile. Hem first produces meter upon meter of our own colorful cotton rope, which is then skillfully hand-woven into rugs of a variety of colorways and sizes. The rhythmic looping is an alluring texture when viewed from afar and a compelling design detail when experienced up close.
