Ply Rug Black/White by Margrethe Odgaard for Muuto

Ply rug in black and white is simply beautiful. 'Choosing the right color combination can make a strong statement and reach people not only through the eyes but also through the feelings it generates' designer Margrethe Odgaard quotes.

This rug got it's name as textile ply consists of several individual strands combined in one thread, just as plywood is a structural material made of layers of wood glued together.

A beautiful finishing detail is the two tassels at separate ends of the rug. The tassels are not attached to the corners but are natural extensions to the weaving of the sides. The tassels activate the rug on the floor, giving a visual entrance and exit to the design. In addition, they refer to the history of traditional handwoven rugs.

'The new generation of designers in Scandinavia know the history and craft of our culture, making beautiful and functional products for everyday life'
