The First Layer was never just about rugs.It was about texture, materiality, and the way a space could be felt before it was seen. From woven textiles and handcrafted rugs to sculptural surfaces and layered details, every element was designed to slow people down and draw them closer to the craft. More than an installation, […]
Not a painting. A rug. ✨Hand knotted. One knot at a time
Not every rug asked to be looked at.Some asked to be understood. At The First Layer, Understorey brought process into the space, from loom to weave, texture to technique, allowing people to experience rugs beyond placement and décor. Conversations slowed down here. Hands paused on textures. Details became stories. Thank you to everyone who walked […]
Pure wool. Pure silk.Pure intent. 🤍

THE FIRST LAYERDiscover. Experience. Own. Over three days, HōmAnAn × Understorey became a space of texture, craft, and conversation, designed to be experienced, not simply viewed.

CH.2PRODUCTTHE FIRST LAYERDiscover. Experience. Own. This chapter focuses on the foundation of every thoughtfully designed space, the rug. Before the art, objects, and final layers come in, a rug sets the tone through texture, warmth, materiality, and scale. It grounds the room and shapes everything built around it. With Understorey, each piece reflects months of […]
At HōmAnAn, every collaboration begins from the ground up, quite literally. Understorey’s handwoven rugs set the foundation for spaces that feel lived, layered, and deeply human. Each weave carries the rhythm of craftsmanship and the warmth of touch—grounding design in emotion, not just material. Here, artistry anchors the entire story.

With a legacy of over 100 years in fine craftsmanship, each piece carries forward generations of artistry and expertise— a narrative of patience and precision, woven with threads that hold memory, texture, and time. In our interiors, these rugs don’t just […]
In the quiet corners of HōmAnAn, Understorey’s bespoke rugs take their place—not as floor coverings but as foundational layers. Woven by Jaipur’s master weavers and designed with intention, they anchor the space in story, texture, and time. This collaboration invites you to walk into a home where the ground itself speaks.
