This piece is intended primarily as textile wall art. If displayed on the floor, regular or heavy foot traffic is not recommended.

Hruma the cat has sat for two portraits in our studio. One is realistic, listed separately as the Custom Pet Rug, and this is the other: the same face broken into patches of bright colour, closer to how an Impressionist would paint a cat than to how a camera sees one. The geometry of the muzzle, ears and eyes stays true to the photograph, so the likeness holds; only the colour is set free. When you commission a portrait of your own pet, this is one of the two directions you can choose.

The process is the same either way. You send a clear photo of your cat or dog, we redraw it by hand into a colour mockup and pick the yarn palette to match, and tufting begins after you approve the design. A hand-held tufting gun drives acrylic yarn through a textile base, patch of colour by patch of colour. After the adhesive backing has dried, the rug comes off the frame; we then level and shape the pile in stages. Nothing here is printed: every shade is a separate yarn, and the finished piece is meant primarily for the wall.

At 84 × 84 cm and roughly 2.4 kg, the square sits well beside a bed or a reading chair, and it hangs comfortably as textile wall art if you ask us to add loops to the back. Any other size can be ordered: the mockup is simply redrawn to your measurements, and the price follows the area from €310 for this format.

A personalized pet rug is made to order and leaves the studio in four working days; delivery is free across the EU and to the US and tracked. The acrylic pile is easy to live with: lint-roll fur and dust away, vacuum on a gentle setting, and hand serious stains to a professional cleaner rather than scrubbing them.

What was chosen here

A cat · head and shoulders · a bold painterly palette instead of her real grey · a plain ground behind her.

€310 · 84 × 84 cm · four working days on the frame.

About two weeks from the order to your door: four working days on the frame, five to ten in transit, and the mockup in between, waiting on your approval. A full studio adds to that, so the date is confirmed when you order.

This is the only place on the site where the same animal exists twice: Hruma in her true colours as the Custom Pet Rug, and Hruma here, with the geometry of the face untouched and only the colour set free. Compare the two and you are looking at the choice itself rather than at a description of it.
