The Nobsa Rug, available in three sizes, is a graphic design by Sebastian Herkner, featuring gentle colour-blocking to create a multi-dimensional effect. The designer was inspired by the patterns of the plastic bags in which Colombian farmers carry their potatoes. By combining colours of similar shade and different weaving techniques, an intriguing pattern is assembled that adds texture and interest to any room. The Nobsa collection also includes cushions with matching patterns
The rug is hand-woven and manufactured in a small family business based in the Colombian city of Nobsa. It takes three days to dye and prepare the wool fibres and an additional eight days to weave the rug
