The American Set Tips
What It Sold For

The Rug Stays Ancient; Everything Around It Changes

· 1 min read

Jaipur Living's new CallaLuxe collection is meant to be as practical as it is beautiful. According to chief executive Asha Chaudhary, the handwork at its center, a craft some twenty-five centuries old, isn't what she wants to update. What she wants to modernize is everything around the loom, so the weaving itself can last. For an American house, that's a useful idea: the most lasting pieces in a room are often the ones that no one tried to reinvent.

With reporting from Surface.
