The Edgy Area Rug from Tom Dixon uses a cut-back hand-tufted pile technique over a handwoven base, creating a two-level surface where the border and central field read at different heights. The deep pile of the central area provides a strong tactile contrast against the surrounding border, giving the rug a clear compositional structure. Wool, cotton, polyester, and viscose are combined in the construction, contributing both softness and durability to the finished piece.
