Merger Rug

Kvadrat gulvtæppe designet af Hella Jongerius

The design of Merger is inspired by colour blocking techniques. In this playful, fresh design, two tone-on-tone colours are juxtaposed on a light or dark base, creating a lively and uplifting colour-block effect. The differently sized colour blocks contain the diagonal texture and add a sense of balance and harmony to the design.

This 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. Merger is made from New Zealand wool on a cotton warp.
