Paris Déco Off Visit: Vandra Rugs

We first encountered Vandra Rugs at Paris Déco Off, an annual design event where international textile, wallpaper and interior houses present their latest collections across Paris. Vandra is a Swedish producer that combines traditional röllakan weaving with contemporary geometric design, and makes each rug to order by hand in southern Ukraine.

For the living room of one of our projects, we sourced Vandra's Rettangolo rug, designed by Ami Katz. We were drawn to its linear pattern, pixel-like framing and textured linen rya details, which give the surface a unique three-dimensional quality. The rya technique was originally developed in Scandinavia to provide warmth and insulation. Its cut wool pile creates a soft, textured surface that is both comfortable underfoot and well suited for a compact sized living room.
