Istrice Cashmere Wool Rug Designed by Barbara Frua

Woven using the chain stitch technique characteristic of Indian textiles since the Mughal period, this intriguing Istrice Cashmere Wool Runner Rug is part of the Par Terre collection by Milanese designer Barbara Frua. As Istrice means 'porcupine' in Italian, the pattern along the side borders is inspired by the porcupine's coat of bicoloured quills, against a grass green background.
