Fortlines Halcyon Rug
The Fortlines Halcyon Rug is a hand‑tufted area rug crafted from 100% premium New Zealand wool with hand‑sculpted detailing at the outlines, offering exceptional softness, resilience, and tactile depth. Part of our Topographical Map Studies, its design is inspired by the organic lines of contour maps and playful patterns from some of our favorite board games. These flowing, layered forms translate terrain into pattern, creating a composition that feels both playful and architectural. Hand-sculpted outlines enhance the depth and dimension, while a plush cut pile and high-density construction ensure comfort and lasting performance. Fully customizable in size, colorway, and pattern scale, this rug brings warmth, texture, and a unique sense of movement to living rooms, bedrooms, or curated lounge spaces.
