We decided to name this show The First Layer because a rug is exactly that.

The first decision in any room before the furniture, the walls, the lighting. 
And yet in most homes it is chosen last. We wanted to change that conversation.

The First Layer is Understorey‘s first ever showcase in India. Hand-knotted rugs made by master weavers in Jaipur – each piece carrying months of making, each one a quiet expression of a craft that has been alive in this city for centuries.

In Delhi, 9th and 10th May. HōmAnAn, Greater Kailash II.
DM me if you would like to come.
