As a runner, Axis stretches its central column the full length of the floor, a soft lavender band held between slate-blue side panels and deep charcoal corner blocks, with thin plum grid lines drawing the geometry tight. The narrow format suits the design well, turning a hallway or galley kitchen into something architectural rather than passed-through. Designed in New York and hand-tufted in Bhadohi, India, it is made from 100% New Zealand wool with a 0.75 inch pile that gives the carved surface its cushioned, dimensional feel. Made to order in any size and any of over 1,200 wool colors, so the runner can follow the exact run of your corridor, entryway, or kitchen. The structured lines stay crisp at length, holding their balance whether the piece is short or stretches well past the standard. Each runner is ready in 2 to 3 weeks and ships free worldwide, duties included.
