It appeared in the Paris and London interiors of the 1920s and 30s, where the exotic animal reference met the period's appetite for geometry and repetition. The design of this piece is attributed to the British architect and designer \u003cstrong\u003eOliver Hill\u003c\/strong\u003e, around 1926 — the same source as our companion piece #15703.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat distinguishes this version is the restraint. Where the historical models set black against ivory in hard contrast, here the stripes are drawn in a pale silver grey on wool white. The pattern stays fully legible, but the drama is taken out of it: the result belongs as much to a \u003cstrong\u003eJapandi\u003c\/strong\u003e interior as to a Deco one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003eComposition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe field is filled with fanned bundles of tapering stripes, meeting along soft vertical seams so that each pair of fans forms a leaf-like or feather-like shape. The bundles are staggered across the surface, which keeps the eye moving without any single focal point. There is \u003cstrong\u003eno border\u003c\/strong\u003e — the pattern runs to all four edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palette is two-tone: a warm \u003cstrong\u003ewool white\u003c\/strong\u003e ground carrying the fine grain of hand-spun yarn, and stripes in a cool \u003cstrong\u003esilver grey\u003c\/strong\u003e. Because the two tones sit so close together in value, the rug reads at a distance as a single textured surface and only resolves into pattern as you approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003eThe Relief Surface\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pattern is not only knotted but \u003cstrong\u003ecarved\u003c\/strong\u003e. The wool ground is sheared to approximately \u003cstrong\u003e8 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, the silk stripes are left standing at around \u003cstrong\u003e10 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e. Every stripe therefore sits physically above the ground and casts a fine shadow along its edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two fibres also take light in opposite ways — the hand-spun wool matte and absorbing, the silk reflective. Seen from one side the rug is quiet, warm and almost plain; from the other the silver stripes light up. In a two-colour rug this is what carries the whole effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003eMaterial and Knotting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pile is \u003cstrong\u003e60 % wool and 40 % silk\u003c\/strong\u003e on a cotton foundation, hand-knotted in the workshops of Kathmandu at approximately \u003cstrong\u003e100 knots per square inch\u003c\/strong\u003e — around 155,000 knots per square metre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wool is \u003cstrong\u003eTibetan Changpai highland wool\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it is \u003cstrong\u003ehand-spun\u003c\/strong\u003e. To get close to the surface of the antique originals we sought out women in small Nepalese villages who still master the older spinning technique, a practice that has largely disappeared from the wider Nepalese rug industry. Hand-spun yarn varies slightly in thickness, and that irregularity is precisely what gives the white ground its depth rather than a flat, machine-even face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003ePresence in the Room\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e183 × 122 cm (2.2 m²)\u003c\/strong\u003e this is an accent format:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIn front of a sofa or fireplace:\u003c\/strong\u003e The near-neutral palette works as a light-toned surface that adds texture without adding colour to the room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeside a bed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft, dense pile on one side of a double bed, or across the foot end.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEntrance or dressing area:\u003c\/strong\u003e The relief reads best in raking light, which is often exactly what these spaces have.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003eBespoke Commissions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Zebra design can be tailored to your project through our \u003cstrong\u003emade-to-order Djoharian Design\u003c\/strong\u003e service: custom dimensions, a colour palette drawn from over 1,200 yarn shades and matched to Pantone, RAL, fabric or paint samples, and a 30 × 30 cm reference sample for sign-off before production.

style=\"margin:10px 0 0;\"\u003eThe two fibres are sheared to different heights. The wool ground is cut lower, the silk stripes are left standing a little higher, so the pattern sits physically above the ground.
