At Olive & Wool, our signature plant-based finish is environmentally responsible, incredibly durable, and easy to refresh.  It contains 0% VOC and has no effect on indoor air quality. 

 
Each piece is one of a kind.  Our colors are created using natural dyes just like in hand knotted rugs.  These transparent colors do not contain pigment (solid particles).  The inherent coloration of the wood grain used for each piece will cause the color to vary.
