Hand tufted Obi Greens rug. Medium

Hand tufted in India in New Zealand wool, woolsilk and tencel mix.  
Hand tufted rugs should not be confused with machine-made tufted rugs. Hand tufting is a traditional method, which requires a high level of craftsmanship. Our rugs are entirely made by hand: the yarn is hand dyed, tufted by hand with a small mechanical tool and finally sheared, using hand held scissors. No electricity is used.

The idea for OBI developed during a three months long residency in Japan during 2015.
We took inspiration from the Japanese Geisha Culture and all the knots and rope bindings we saw in their
clothing. ”We wanted to give the carpet a three-dimensional effect, an organic shape on a flat surface”.
OBI was first shown for ASPLUND during the exhibition AMOUR mon AMOUR in Milan 2017.
