The Story Behind the Cruda Collection

Inspired by the bold aesthetics of Brutalist art, Italian Rationalism, and modernist architecture, the Cruda Collection, named after the Italian word for "raw," translates architectural rigor into expressive, tactile floor coverings. With a harmonious blend of strong geometric forms, rich tonal palettes, and intricate textures, the collection captures the essence of abstraction while maintaining warmth and softness.

Greg Natale describes the collection as "an expression of reductive form and modern industrial materials, translated into a softer, tactile language." He emphasizes the beauty of imperfection and irregularity, celebrating these qualities as essential to contemporary aesthetics. The Cruda Collection invites homeowners to embrace these ideals, bringing symbolic and meaningful design into their spaces.

Discover the Cruda Collection

The Cruda Collection features six distinct designs: Vivo, Rozzo, Dura, Freddo, Ruvida, and Terroso. Each offers a unique interpretation of architectural influences. Handknotted in Tibetan wool with varying pile heights, these rugs exude a sculptural presence that elevates contemporary interiors. Here is what makes each design stand out:
