 Story

This Indigo Pellizco rug is a vibrant indigo - the colour of famous Mexican artist Frida Kahlo's house in Coyoacan. And it's generational, handmade by maestro Tito and his grandson. Dyed and woven with locally sourced materials around Mexico City, this  Pellizco rug was made with hand-loomed wool that is naturally soft and exceptionally thick, creating the perfect rug for modern living. This rug complements contemporary or classic spaces - and creates the perfect textural addition to any living space.

Tito works with a collaborative design cooperative in Mexico City that highlights the functional and aesthetic qualities of Mexican folk furniture and design. They revive lost fragments of Mexican design history with an emphasis on craftsmanship and the preservation of historical techniques.

Their goal is to bring these almost-forgotten Mexican classics to the attention of contemporary design space, and for users around the world to appreciate their craftsmanship and history. And appreciate the incredible ancestral knowledge that has contributed to this Mexican craftsmanship.
