Argentella rugs: the allure of flat-weave between tradition and modernity
Argentella is one of the oldest weaving techniques of the Mediterranean: a flat, dense and resistant interlace, traditionally made in wool. In its modern version it keeps the structural essence while adapting to contemporary colours and patterns.

What is an argentella rug and how to recognise it?
The argentella is recognised by touch: the surface is flat and firm. It resembles sturdy fabric. The upper face shows woven geometric patterns in stripes, squares or sawtooth motifs.
Modern argentella: contemporary patterns and colours
The modern version adopts contemporary colours and geometries: abstract patterns, gradual gradients, bicolour effects and neutral palettes (grey-beige, white-sand, black-anthracite).
Where to place an argentella rug: ideal settings
Particularly suited to high-traffic areas: corridors, entrances, kitchens, dining areas. Also ideal under dining chairs, as legs glide easily on the flat surface.
Care and maintenance
The flat surface doesn't trap deep dust — vacuum regularly with a plain nozzle. Many cotton versions are machine washable in smaller sizes.
