Featuring a luxurious long wool pile on a sturdy cotton foundation, the Tulu rug is a uniquely Turkish tradition — produced in the villages of Central and Eastern Anatolia as a functional, warming textile for domestic use.

The deep dark brown and black ground is elegantly contrasted by a central square motif in ivory, flanked by horizontal end bands in ivory and warm chocolate — a bold, minimalist composition of great graphic clarity that feels entirely contemporary while being rooted in centuries of village tradition. The Tulu's long, shaggy pile gives it a warmth and tactile richness that few other rug types can match, making it equally at home on the floor and draped over furniture.
