Price History
Description
Reinterpreting 19th-century Japanese designs, the silver Kaito Rug’s stripped-back motif resembles winding flowers and stems. Knotted using a traditional loom, this knotted design is made from lustred viscose fibres to create a fascinating texture that glimmers in the light. Its Nordic maker, Linie Design, is committed to sustainable design and is part of the worldwide Care and Fair scheme to support its weavers. Similarly, every rug is crafted using environmentally friendly fibres.
Our Stylist Says
I love this Kaito rug for its versatile design and subtle sheen, making it a great choice for both contemporary and more traditional interiors. Its silver tone adds a touch of luxe without overpowering a space, and the pattern provides visual interest while remaining understated. It works well under neutral-toned furniture, helping to soften modern lines, or alongside darker pieces for a sophisticated contrast. Practical styling tips include pairing it with layered textures like velvet cushions or woven throws, and ensuring it’s sized appropriately to define a seating area or dining space. This rug’s understated elegance makes it a flexible piece to elevate various rooms, from living areas to bedrooms.

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.
