The Danskina rug collection by Kvadrat sees an expansion in their offerings with Burrow, Reap and Merger – three new exclusive rugs designed by Hella Jongerius.
Burrow is hand knotted from soft, hand-spun, Tibetan wool. Its plush texture reflects three different levels of pile, running seamlessly from flat and finely woven to plush and soft, giving a contemporary twist to a classic high pile rug. Nuances of different shades of colour shimmer in the wool’s natural irregularities, with a final effectof a generous and tactile surface.
Reap has the appearance of being stitched in rows of different rhythms, with a series of oval elements separated with a clean horizontal line. The soft, fluctuating pattern is created by two different coloured yarns, woven into a black warp on a special fabric loom. Cut from a large roll and finished to order each Reap rug is unique.
Merger has a playful, fresh design. The two tone-on-tone colours are juxtaposed on a light or dark base, creating a lively and uplifting colour-block effect. Merger is a special and outspoken rug that is well suited to bold and sophisticated settings. Its distinctive twill, with the colours meeting at different directions and angles, creates a tactile slightly ribbed surface.
