Minerva Rug

Design

The Minerva rug from Capital is drawn in neutral tones that move gently from beige to light gray. The palette feels calm and deliberate, easy to read in any setting. Rounded corners soften the strong, generous rectangle, so the rug never feels rigid or formal. Instead, it settles into a room with quiet confidence, giving shape without shouting for attention.

An abstract pattern runs across the surface in shaded color fields. It is not busy, yet it avoids feeling flat. The design adds a subtle layer of interest underfoot, framing furniture and anchoring the space with a composed, contemporary look.

Materials & Build

Minerva is hand-tufted, combining 40% New Zealand wool with 60% bamboo silk. The mix brings together the structure of fine wool with the gentle sheen of bamboo silk, so the rug reads both matte and lightly luminous as the light moves across it. The base is offered in three color options, each bordered by a dark brown leather edge that adds a tailored finish.

Its dimensions are considered for generous living areas: approximately 124 inches in depth and 102.4 inches in length, with a low profile of about 0.6 inches. Curved exterior corners finish the outline with a smooth, rounded look that echoes the softness of the surface.

Comfort & Feel

The hand-tufted construction gives Minerva a dense, reassuring touch. Wool brings a gentle, cushioned feel, while bamboo silk lends a refined smoothness when walking barefoot. The low yet substantial height keeps it comfortable without feeling bulky, easy to move around and live with every day.

Placement & Lifestyle

This Capital rug is made to adapt. Its neutral shades sit easily with both light and dark furniture, working just as well under a sofa setting as in a bedroom or a quiet study. The abstract design supports a mix of pieces around it, from sculpted coffee tables to simple upholstered seating.

Because the tones are understated, the rug can either ground a bold interior or complete a softer, monochrome scheme. It slides into different styles—contemporary, transitional, even more classic rooms—without feeling out of place.

Longevity

The blend of New Zealand wool and bamboo silk is chosen not only for its look, but also for its performance over time. Wool offers natural resilience, while bamboo silk keeps the surface visually refined with regular care. The dark brown leather border protects the edges and gives the rug a more structured outline, even with its curved corners.

Minerva is designed as a long-term piece in the Capital collection—quietly present, easy to live with, and able to move from one space to the next as interiors evolve.
