Hand-made carpets have a unique ability to change tones depending on the observer's vantage point.

Rugs have a remarkable characteristic: they can change their appearance depending on how they are viewed. This phenomenon is due to the construction of the rug, which includes both a rough and a smooth side to its pile.

When light interacts with the rug, the smooth side reflects light, resulting in a lighter appearance, while the rough side absorbs light, creating a darker effect. Therefore, as the viewer's perspective changes, so too does the perception of the rug's colours, offering a dynamic and engaging visual experience.
