GRODDSVINGEL

Rug, low pile, multicolour/handmade, 170x240 cm

Wool is a practical natural material that usually comes from sheep. The raw wool is washed and then spun into yarn. Wool rugs have many advantages. They're soft, warm and comfortable to walk on, and they're also very hardwearing. They're stain-resistant too, because wool has it own natural oil. This means that dirt stays on the surface and doesn't penetrate into the rug. All wool rugs shed - some more, some less - vacuum them regularly to prevent the loose fibres from scattering.

Our rugs are different, just like every home. Each one is handmade by skilled artisans using their special weaving technique where the natural materials with different textures, patterns and colours create an authentic feel. These are limited-edition rugs where the design and style are updated frequently. So choose the one that suits your home best and enjoy a unique work of art that can withstand wear and tear for many years.

The pit loom, as the name suggests, is positioned over a pit, and the wooden frame is angled for horizontal weaving. The artisan sits underneath the frame, and controls it with foot pedals and their hands, crafting rugs with intricate patterns and designs. This setup enables working from both above and below the frame, achieving a very tight weave. Producing a rug with this technique takes about 2-3 days, resulting in a work of art that can add character to any home.

“The design of hand-knotted GRODDSVINGEL rug in wool is inspired by the summer meadow’s peaceful beauty. Using different pile heights and colours, skilled craftsmen have created a pattern with grass, wildflowers and a dark night sky. I hope the rug will spread the same sense of calm in your living room as a meadow outdoors. A place where you can relax and enjoy walking barefoot across your own beautiful summer meadow – all-year-round."
