Price History
Description
An exquisite hand-knotted rug from Linie Design. Humble Act’s modest expression is the result of intricate craftsmanship and a careful composition of tonal and structural contrasts. The thick, soft pile is framed at either end by flat-woven sections and long flowing fringing, creating an interplay of dimensions and structure that brings the undyed yarns to life. Made in soft RWS wool with a GOTS-certified cotton warp – both materials selected for their eco-friendly qualities, durability and natural rustic beauty. Hand-crafted by Linie Design’s artisan weavers and designed by Urd Moll Gundermann, Humble Act is part of the Apertus Collection that focuses on structure and sustainability to create stunning, responsibly produced rugs that feature the Care & Fair label.
Our Stylist Says
I love this rug for its versatile and understated aesthetic - it works well in both contemporary and minimalist interiors, adding warmth without overwhelming the space. Its neutral ivory tone makes it easy to pair with a range of colour schemes and furniture styles, while the subtle stripe detail creates a bit of visual interest. For styling tips, try layering it under a low coffee table or letting it anchor a seating area with upholstered pieces in soft, muted shades. It’s practical for busy areas thanks to its size and neutral tone, which helps conceal dirt and wear, making it a smart choice for living rooms or open-plan spaces.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture 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.
Influences and Design Philosophy
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.
Modern Expansion and Growth
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.
