Hogara is an Axminster interpretation of an ikat fabric, its geometric, dancing composition recalling the movement of Japanese screens. The pleasure of the design is in that slight instability, edges that flicker as ikat edges do and a rhythm that never quite settles into a grid, held steady by the discipline of Axminster weaving. It brings pattern and energy to a floor without noise, and its textile origins keep it soft in spirit as well as underfoot.
