“The inspiration for NICKGRÄS rug comes from Swedish folklore where the rooster was a common symbol of the sun. The details in red, blue and yellow represent all the wildflowers of the countryside. Using wool yarn, skilled craftsmen have captured these elements and created a pattern where small braids in the corners enhance the playful expression of the rug. The result is a handwoven gem that will make your living room feel bright, cheerful and inviting."

Panja weaving is a centuries-old method for making stunning and intricate rugs. A wooden frame with vertical threads is required, and the weaver uses a claw-like tool known as a "panja", to weave horizontal threads tightly through the vertical ones. Panja weaving is time-consuming and it usually takes 4-5 days to complete a rug. It involves considerable skill and attention to detail, resulting in one-of-a-kind works of art of exceptional quality and durability.

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.

This unique piece is a celebration of traditional handicraft blended with contemporary aesthetic. Artisans have given life to the ideas of our IKEA designers using skills passed on through generations. The result is this one-of-a-kind product that bridges ancient techniques with the expressions and lifestyles of today.
