Scandi

This rug in turquoise and gold combines traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. With a knot density of around 90,000 knots per m², the elaborate workmanship shows above all in the precise drawing of the pattern and the fine execution of the details. At 297 × 245 cm it is well suited as a large living-room rug. It shows to equally good effect in the dining room under a table for six to eight people. This one-of-a-kind piece brings individual character to the room and holds its value far beyond short-lived trends.

Origin

Demand for mid-century pieces, and above all for Scandinavian-style vintage rugs, has risen sharply. The move towards modern décors in the middle of the last century produced wonderful designs, artworks and patterns, particularly in Scandinavia, that sit beautifully in contemporary interiors. Our Scandi rugs take up the designs of that era and bridge the gap between a boho- and ethno-inspired look and the clarity of an Art Deco interior. The designs feel modern and yet somehow nostalgic.

Material

The technique used to prepare the materials for the pile of this Scandi is more than 200 years old. The wool was dyed with natural colours and spun by hand. Dyeing with natural or plant dyes is more complicated, more expensive and more time-consuming than dyeing with chemical colours. For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root as dye per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that is not too pale, it even takes two kilos of weld per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is time-consuming and labour-intensive as well. On top of that, fewer and fewer people still know how to spin wool by hand.

But the effort is worth it: dyeing with natural colours allows the high-quality wool to keep its natural oil content. Wool that has been dyed with natural colours and spun by hand creates fascinating, shimmering patterns. The charm of hand-spun wool, with its slight irregularities and natural shades, comes into its own as a contrast in modern interiors, but equally in rooms furnished in a more traditional or country style.

The foundation (weft and warp threads) of this Scandi is made of new wool.

A note on the photos

The colours of this rug change depending on which side you look at it from. It all depends on whether the light falls with the nap of the pile or against it. That is why we have photographed the rug from several angles.

Child labour? No thanks.

Child labour? No thanks. Children belong in school, not at a knotting frame or a loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour.

We attach particular importance to humane working conditions and tolerate no child labour at any of our producers. Thank you for helping us to ensure fair conditions.

That is why we support the initiative Care & Fair against child labour in the rug trade.
