Naming
In forestry and forest ecology, the "understorey" refers to the vibrant life that thrives between the forest floor and the tree canopy. Metaphorically, "understorey" captures the rich tapestry of narratives, histories, and ideas that interweave to create the cultural and ecological diversity of a forest. Similarly, our rug-making brand, Understorey, embodies this intricate blend of stories and craftsmanship, creating unique, beautifully woven pieces that add depth and character to any space.

Identity
Like a tendril rising up from the forest floor. Growing with support from the base; akin to the carpet forming a base in living spaces.
