MARGRETHE ODGAARD ON THE DESIGN "Pebble Rug is inspired by the sensuous feeling of a pebbled beach with its diverse and tactile surface, inviting you to take off your shoes and walk across it barefooted. With a handwoven structure that references fashion textiles, the Pebble Rug plays with the contrasting materials of its soft, woolen loops, sitting atop a sturdy canvas base in cooling jute yarn. Pebble Rug brings a new perspective to any space through its woolen loops, popping up from the ground like sprouts in a bed of moss, joined by the distinct woven texture of its surface."

CATEGORY Rug ENVIRONMENT Indoor COUNTRY OF PRODUCTION India DESCRIPTION Pebble Rug has a diverse and tactile surface, inspired by the sensuous feeling of walking across a pebbled beach. With a handwoven structure, Pebble Rug contrasts the materials of its soft, woolen loops with its sturdy canvas base in a cooling jute yarn. Pebble Rug has a distinct and modern woven texture for any hospitality setting, lobby, hotel space or co-working area. PRODUCTION PROCESS Pebble Rug is produced by combining the hand loom techniques of loop pile weaves and flat weaves. To create the loop pile pattern that gives Pebble Rug its tactile structure, the thick wool fiber yarn is wrapped around a special rod during weaving for an even and precise loop effect. This special handloom technique integrates the loop piles harmoniously into the flatweave base of the rug, created from jute fibers. MATERIAL Pebble Rug is made from 60% wool and 40% jute fibers, both natural materials that are easy to clean and preserve. The rug comes with a canvas backing pasted with synthetic latex which ensures that the rug lays smoothly on the floor. CLEANING AND CARE For general care of the rug, we recommend gentle vacuum cleaning on a regular basis. For cleaning of stains or spots, we recommend professional dry cleaning.
