TLDR:

  • Rug guru Christopher Farr and Greg Chait have collaborated on a range of meditation mats featuring motifs derived from 1960’s pen-and-ink drawings.
  • The four rug designs come in three colorways each and are fabricated using a centuries-old Persian hand-knotting technique.

The marriage between fashion and interiors is showcased in the collaboration between rug guru Christopher Farr and Greg Chait, founder of The Elder Statesman. The new range of meditation mats features motifs derived from 1960’s pen-and-ink drawings by Chait’s late grandmother Thelma. The four rug designs, including Prayers, come in three colorways each and are fabricated by weavers in Mirzapur, India using a centuries-old Persian hand-knotting technique that results in 144 knots per square inch.

This collaboration highlights the importance of craftsmanship and storytelling in home furnishings. The handcrafted nature of these meditation mats adds a unique touch to interior spaces, while also paying tribute to Thelma Chait’s artistic legacy. The sustainable origins of the materials used in the fabrication of these mats also align with the growing trend towards environmentally conscious home decor items.
