Who is Maison Deux?
Maison Deux is a Dutch textile brand founded by Pia and Woes Weinberg. It made its debut at colette, the legendary Paris concept store, during Paris Design Week 2016, which is why many customers assume the label is French. Our listings describe it as a Dutch design studio, and that is how we present it here: a Dutch eye, shown first in Paris. The rugs are made in India, hand-tufted and GoodWeave certified. The throws and cushions listed here are woven in Lithuania or elsewhere in Europe.
Why do hand-tufted wool rugs last?
A rug is the hardest-working textile in a room. Maison Deux rugs use a 100% New Zealand wool pile on a 100% cotton backing, hand-tufted with a higher pile on the pattern and a lower pile on the ground so the design stands out in relief. Wool is resilient and naturally springs back, which is why a good wool rug looks better after years of use than a thin synthetic one. The care routine is simple: vacuum regularly and blot spills with a dry towel or a damp cloth.
How do I choose a rug size for my project?
Rules of thumb from our design team: in a bedroom, a 120 x 180 cm (47 x 71 in) rug works best beside the bed or at the foot of it rather than under the whole bed; in a reading corner it sits under the front legs of a chair and a side table; in a child's room a smaller 80 x 110 cm rug marks a play or reading spot. If you need a rug to anchor a whole seating group, measure the group first, then choose a larger size where the listing offers one.
How do I use a wool throw so it looks designed?
At 130 x 200 cm (51 x 79 in), a Maison Deux throw is generous enough to cover a lap and still drape. Fold it in thirds over the arm of a chair or across the foot of a bed. Because the jacquard weave shows the pattern in inverted colors on the reverse, a folded edge always looks intentional. Pair a checkerboard or stripe throw with a solid cushion, or the other way round, and let one pattern lead.

Why it's worth the investment
Textiles are where a room's comfort lives, and the ones you touch every day should be made well. Maison Deux uses real wool, certified: the listings cite Woolmark, OEKO-TEX, Wool Integrity NZ and GoodWeave. The designs, from Miffy and Snoopy to the grown-up Smiley, checkerboards and cubes, hold their appeal over time, and a wool rug or throw can be cleaned, refreshed and kept. Choose one piece you love, such as the Cubics throw for the reading chair or a Checkerboard rug under it, and the room feels finished.
A gift that is easy to say yes to
Holiday gifting season is here, and a wool cushion cover or a Miffy rug is a gift that lasts. If you are shopping for a child or a grandchild, the Miffy and Peanuts pieces are charming and still well made. For an adult, the Cubics and Rough Stripe throws read as grown-up design.
