For centuries, hides have been cherished for their natural beauty and versatility Far Collective has reimagined this timeless material into extraordinary handcrafted rugs combining authenticity, artistry, and modern design.Each piece is meticulously handcrafted using carefully selected sheep and alpaca hides, sewn together to create organic patchworks. What makes these rugs unique is the absence of predefined patterns each design celebrates natural textures, colors, and shapes.
The result is rugs that are works of art, adding warmth, character, and individuality to any space. These rugs use materials with exceptional qualities. Wool is naturally durable, fire-retardant, resistant to dirt and static, and completely hypoallergenic.
Far Collective draws inspiration from Peru's breathtaking landscapes vast deserts, towering mountains, lush jungles, and winding rivers serve as the perfect palette for their designs, infusing each piece with Peruvian soul.
