Warli Folklorico Rug
FOLKLORICO RUG
FOLKLORICO RUG
Designed by Paolo Zani, 2023
Folklorico continues the development of Warli's new products that look at the world of tradition revisited in a contemporary key.
It's a handknotted rug, thin, soft and very light. Entirely made of New Zealand wool, it has a bi-colored texture with a deliberately vintage look that overlaps a monochromatic base. We like to think that it will be reassuring and alternative, with features that make it unique in its kind.

PRODUCT CARE
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. Hemp is not an elastic yarn and will flatten after some time. Bamboo silk shreds during the first few weeks. This is considered to be a normal process.
