San Andreas White Grey 9172 Rug

The San Andreas Fault is a continental fault located in California.

The design is inspired by this precarious geology, simple and complex at the same time, to offer this magnificent feeling that nature is stronger than anything.

White and black palettes are used to support the simplicity and complexity of the design. The lines of contrasts wonderfully underline the vagaries of ancient nature.

Invented in 1804 by Frenchman, Joseph Marie Jacquard, the original Jacquard head simplified the process of machine making complex patterns through a number of punched cards ‘chained' together in sequence.

Each card featured a number of punched holes to form a single row of the pattern and the chain could be as long as needed, helping Jacquard equipped looms to produce some really fantastic and surprisingly intricate designs. Now with digital control, modern-day electronic Jacquard machines are computer-controlled, significantly reducing the downtime with changing traditional card machines, avoiding the necessity for repeats and showing almost complete versatility in creating pattern. By far the best way to machine make rugs, electronic Jacquard rug making speeds-up production dramatically, helping to bring beautiful design at a really competitive price point.
