Description
Designed by Raw Edges in collaboration with master rug-maker GAN, the brick-red Backstitch Calm Rug explores the natural beauty of embroidery. Its unusual design explores the unintentional beauty of the backstitches that are often found on the reverse side of embroidery. The Backstitch Calm Rug itself is a precious example of premium craftsmanship, with different yarns, detailing done by hand and expert loom work shown throughout. Hand-stitching by female artisans in northern India completes the modern rug and mimics the effect of backstitches.
Our Stylist Says
The Gandia Blasco Backstitch Calm Rug in brick red offers a subtle yet impactful addition to contemporary interiors. I love its understated pattern, which brings texture without overwhelming the space, making it versatile for both modern and transitional schemes. It works particularly well in living rooms or bedrooms with neutral palettes, adding warmth and depth. For styling tips, layer it with cosy throws or patterned cushions to highlight its understated elegance, and consider pairing it with natural materials like wood or leather to enhance its relaxed, sophisticated feel. This rug’s size also makes it ideal for defining seating areas or adding a focal point under a dining table.

About Heal's
Explore from Heal's. Founded in 1810, Heal's are an iconic brand with a history of innovation, and are synonymous with timeless elegance and exceptional design.
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
