Leather and Hide

Leather rugs and cowhide rugs, made to order
Leather rugs are made from tanned hide, either as a whole cowhide in its natural shape, as patchwork cowhide rugs stitched from squares and strips onto a backing, or as woven leather rugs where strips of hide are plaited like a flatweave. Interiors carries 70 leather and hide rug styles, 65 made to order and 5 custom, from Pampas Leather (52), Couristan (13), SSD Carpets (4) and Nourison (1), all shipped from the mill.
Pampas is the source for hair on hide rug work at scale: Abstract, Bacana, Caminito, Bandoneon and Casablanca are patchwork and strip designs in natural brindle, black, white, grey and dyed colorways, made in any rectangle, round or runner up to 12 by 15 feet with a felt or suede back. Canvas Large Strokes is the painted-hide option. A single cowhide runs about 6 by 7 feet and no two match, so a patchwork rug is the way to get a consistent color across a large floor or a pair of rugs.
Hide is tough, wipes clean and does not hold dust, which makes it a frequent spec for a study, a bar, a media room and under a glass dining table. It does not like sun, which fades the dyed colorways, or a damp floor, and it should sit on a thin non-slip pad on wood.
