“The Terra Collection was inspired by the organic textures of the sea and sand,” said Patricia Carreras Ben-Zvi, President of Obeetee, Inc. (Obeetee North America). "All designs were hand-painted in house and crafted using the most luxurious fibers on the market. The union between fine art, high-end materials and skilled craftsmanship has translated into beautiful pieces."
Some of the favorite pieces in the Terra Collection are the hand-knotted Oasis rug crafted from chunky New Zealand wool. It features a watercolor-like blend of natural tones, adding both depth and inviting texture to any space. The hand-knotted Jasmine Rug brings a fresh take on a Khotan-inspired design in a larger scale. Crafted with hand-carded wool, its high-low texture enhances the intricate motifs while a blend of warm neutrals, blues and green accents bring depth and a refined color palette.
The hand-tufted Sardinian wool Fresco Rug was inspired by the diverse textures of landscapes and has a palette of warm neutrals and rich juniper greens. The Harper Rug sports an optic, tile-inspired design that artfully blends greens, yellows and natural fiber-dyed colors. Made from recycled PET in a flatweave construction, it’s ideal for high-traffic areas and versatile enough for indoor/outdoor. The mix of fibers lends it a sophisticated faux-jute appearance, marrying style with practicality.
