Abisko is a Nepalese hand-knotted rug in which wool and silk pile are worked together, the silk flowers carrying a subtle brilliance against the softer ground. The effect is delicate and unmistakably hand-crafted — a gentle gradation of tone that the house likens to Scandinavian wood paintings, poetic rather than emphatic. It is the interplay of the two fibres that gives the surface its life: the wool absorbs light, the silk returns it, and the rug shifts quietly as you move around it.
