BRAILLE RUG
BRAILLE RUG
Designed by Paolo Zani, 2022
Rug in wool and viscose. Braille is a tactile surface, a texture of soft viscose 'dots' worked on a wool base. It arises from a square grid surface and then spreads in a discontinuous manner. The particular irregular twisting of the dots enhances the tactile aspect of the rug.

PRODUCT CARE
Vacuum regularly. Sweep the carpet surface with a soft broom or vacuum clean it in the direction of the pile. Blot stains immediately, possibly with very little water, dry instantly with white absorbing cloth and hair dryer. If, after the above treatments, you’re not able to remove the stains, or if the rug is placed in heavy traffic public areas, we recommend the service of a professional cleaner. In the first months of use the loss of fluff due to manual finishing is normal.
