The result is this one-of-a-kind product that bridges ancient techniques with the expressions and lifestyles of today.
Material
What is wool?
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.
Function solution
Rugs just as unique as your home
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.
Form design process
Made using the hand tufting weaving technique
With hand-tufted rugs, a design is created on a canvas using a tufting gun. This tool pushes strands of wool through the canvas to create loops on the surface. They form a pile, which can be kept shaggy, or cut to create a uniform surface. The loops are secured with a layer of latex on the back and then finished with a piece of fabric glued to it. The technique allows for the efficient production of rugs in various colours and patterns in a relatively short amount of time.

Designer thoughts
“My idea behind GÅSHIRS rug was to explore the effect of simple lines and texture. The minimalist design together with the 100% wool cut-and-loop pile, meticulously created by hand by skilled craftsmen, gives the rug a structure and a playful expression that attracts the eye. And the red edges on the short sides light up and spread happy vibes."
