The Colour: Air Force Blue
The “Air Force Blue” hue is a refined, mid-to-dark blue with subtle smoky grey undertones. Thanks to the reflective nature of the viscose fibres, the colour dances in the light—shifting from a deep, velvety midnight in the shadows to a lustrous, silvery steel blue when caught by the sun. It provides a rich pop of colour that remains neutral enough to complement both modern monochrome and warm wood interiors.
Luxurious Texture & Feel
Hand-sheared to perfection, the Blade rug features a dense, tip-sheared finish. The 100% viscose pile mimics the look and feel of genuine silk, offering a soft, cool-to-the-touch surface and a sophisticated “abrash” effect (intentional tonal variations) that ensures no two rugs look exactly alike.

-
Avoid Moisture: Viscose is highly absorbent; avoid getting this rug wet, as liquid can cause permanent staining or texture changes.

Designer Tip: The Air Force Blue works exceptionally well when paired with brass or gold accents to highlight the rug’s natural metallic sheen.
