Introducing Peregrine Collection
Needlepoint Has Been Around
Since the Dawn of Civilization
Thousands of years ago, the Egyptians used small, slanted stitches to sew together canvas tents. In 17th century Florence, needlepoint embroidery developed into upright flat stitches laid out in numerical patterns creating elaborate motifs called Bargello. This needlepoint style is similar to what we would see on contemporary fabrics and floor coverings. However, needlepoint embroidery is in decline due to the rise of fast fashion and the prohibitive costs of producing tedious, hand-stitched textiles.
REINVENTED
Introducing Our Exclusive
Handmade Needlepoint Collection, Lisbon
We are reviving needlepoint embroidery here at JD Staron, using this nearly forgotten technique in the floor-covering industry; each rug is meticulously crafted, making a statement in any room. These rugs are designed and created with a mix of textures and colors, giving each rug a distinct personality with deep roots in history. This needlepoint technique allows for intricate details and precision, making these rugs one-of-a-kind works of art.
The Lisbon collection is a curated selection of unique, visually striking designs applied on carefully re-created historic textures handcrafted by skilled artisans.
Alpaca yarn is incredibly soft, lightweight, and hypoallergenic.
THE MOST
LUXURIOUS
YARN
ON EARTH
Alpaca yarn is a luxurious and versatile fiber that is perfect for creating cozy and warm items such as rugs. Alpaca yarn is made from the fleece of the alpaca, a domesticated South American mammal that produces one of the softest and warmest fibers in the world.
Using alpaca yarn to create rugs is a wonderful way to add a touch of elegance and warmth to any room in your home. Alpaca yarn is incredibly soft, lightweight, and hypoallergenic, making it a great choice for people with sensitive skin. It is also durable and long-lasting, which means that your alpaca yarn rug will last for many years to come.
Alpacas create the warmest, most natural yarn in existence.
You can choose from various styles and designs when creating rugs out of alpaca yarn. An alpaca rug is perfect whether you prefer a traditional look or something more modern and contemporary. You can also choose from various colors, from soft and subtle shades to bold and vibrant hues.
One of the benefits of using alpaca yarn for rugs is that it is naturally insulating, which means that it will help to keep your home warm and cozy during the colder months. It is also naturally moisture-wicking, which will help keep your home dry and comfortable all year round.
If you are looking for a luxurious and stylish way to add warmth and comfort to your home, consider using alpaca yarn to create beautiful rugs. With their softness, durability, and natural insulation, alpaca rugs are an excellent investment you will enjoy for years.
Painter's Eye, Weavers's Hand
I started using oil paints when I was 15 years old. I love the smell of it, the textures I can create, and the richness of color in every brushstroke. Replicating oil-painted brushstrokes with woven textiles is no simple assignment. However, combining rich textures and colors on the heads of silk fibers may be the perfect match. In this work, I have chosen Tibetan hand-knotting as my medium. The varying levels of texture made by hand knotting the monochrome dyed shades of silk express the depth and sophistication of painted brushstrokes on a canvas.

Texture and Color
This design simulates hand-painted brushstrokes with hand-spun silk for a stunning finished product; swirling, swarming shades of silk brushstrokes overlap to create a lively and expressive surface. Combined with the depth of hand-knotted textures, the richness of silk invites warmth into the space and looks as beautiful as a modern master's oil painting.
MODERN
ANTIQUES
I began weaving as a teenager, just as a stepping stone to becoming a painter. At some point, weaving completely overtook my desire to paint. Now I see what I do as painting in 3 dimensions. Like any painter, I have profound respect for old masterpieces.
Throughout my college years, I had a job restoring antique carpets. Not only did I learn a great deal from this experience, but I grew an intimate appreciation for antiques. This collection is my homage to ancient masters weavers and their techniques. Combining old weaving techniques and oxidations that simulate the effects of passing time, we can emulate antique rugs with some of my favorite graphic patterns and painterly designs.
As an artist and weaver, connecting modernity with history is one of the most thrilling aspects of my work.
I'M
A DESIGNER,
AN ARTIST
AND
A WEAVER
As technology and artificial intelligence becomes increasingly common in daily life, we find ourselves further removed from our organic reality. This dynamic inspired a fascinating experiment juxtaposing nature and technology in art.
The idea for this artistic flooring piece comes from digitized images of red blood cells. In the past, making a carpet or tapestry like this would only be possible by hand. Now we can feed digital images to a robot capable of producing beautiful and textural works of art entirely out of natural yarns.
CROSSROADS
OF NATURE AND TECHNOLOGY
The natural mohair and eucalyptus fibers create lush carpets with perfectly detailed red blood cells. The carpet is finished by experienced weavers that clip loose threads, giving it a human touch.
RED
BLOOD
CELLS
Red blood cells are symbolic of all the organic shapes found in nature, even inside us! By programming a robot to tuft a carpet made of digitized images of red blood cells, we combine nature, art, technology, and human achievements results are absolutely gorgeous.
Introducing the MOST PLANET
FRIENDLY RUGS IN THE
WORLD
HUMAN POWERED PURITY
In a world challenged by global warming and rising sea levels, J.D. Staron has taken action; by creating the world’s most eco-friendly collection of rugs. At the forefront of extreme environmentalism, founder Jakub Staron has created a product that is completely chemical-free, hand-woven and hand-washed without compromising the tactile and pleasing sensory experience that rugs produce.
PURE
WEAVING
WEAVING is one of humankind’s oldest skills and has played a critical role in every ancient society. J.D. Staron has embraced the classical roots of the trade by employing techniques free of chemicals and external power sources. Returning to the original form of weaving has allowed us to produce a sustainable and planet-friendly collection.
PURE PRODUCTION SCHEDULE
J.D. Staron yarn comes from free-grazing sheep. It is hand-clipped, hand-washed, and hand-spun. We don’t use chemicals, dye, or soap. Our rugs are entirely hand-knotted to perfection with naturally processed yarns. To finish the process and soften the pile, we rewash them in pure water and organic oil from neem plants.
