Origin

When designing this hand-woven rug, simplicity and a focus on the essentials mattered most to us. The result is a modern, clean-lined design that works beautifully in contemporary interiors. For all its cool, pared-back look, this rug makes any room feel warmer and more welcoming.

Pattern

The decorated surround (border) forms a beautiful contrast to the centre and shapes the transition at the edge of the rug.

In the pattern of this outdoor rug it is above all the diamonds that catch the eye. A diamond is a rhombus standing on one of its points, and in an Oriental rug its four equal sides may be jagged, stepped or set with hooks. The diamond is one of the oldest basic forms in the Oriental rug. In the Islamic world it carries a symbolic meaning: it stands for the immortality of the soul. That is why you will find it so often used as a filler motif.

The background of this outdoor rug is light brown. The border is worked in light brown and dark brown.

Material

This outdoor rug was hand-woven like a Kelim and therefore consists only of warp and weft threads. So it has no thick, upright pile. Like all Kelims, this outdoor rug carries the same pattern on both sides and can be used either way up.

What makes this outdoor rug special is the material it was hand-woven from. An innovative process turns PET bottles into yarn for rugs. That is why we fondly call them PETra rugs here. The bottles or packaging are shredded and the flakes are then melted down into a yarn.
Rugs made from recycled PET bottles have a few qualities that cotton and wool rugs do not: they are very hard-wearing, unaffected by moisture and can even be used outdoors.
This rug feels surprisingly soft, much like a Kelim made of wool. You will barely notice any difference from other woven rugs in wool or cotton.

The weft threads of this outdoor rug are made of X. The warp threads are made of Plastic (recycled) .
