Description

Woodnotes’ New York rug is a classic paper yarn rug with a simple, minimalist design that infuses your home with just the perfect combination of pure materials, timeless elegance and everyday functionality. Intended for indoor use, the paper yarn rug is finished with sewn edges.

Woodnotes’ rugs, manufactured from woven paper yarn, are indisputable classics of Finnish design. Beautiful natural tones combined with stylish geometrical patterns make them a natural part of the Scandinavian style. Besides the aesthetic values, also ecological values have a central place in designing and producing Woodnotes’ products, with all materials and production techniques carefully chosen to ensure their eco-friendliness. Moreover, paper yarn is a durable, hygienic and safe material.

    I love my new Woodnotes paper twine rug! It replaces a similar one that lasted for about 30 years old (it was ruined in a flood). It feels great with bare feet (unlike many scratchy fiber rugs), is easy to clean, and it looks great.
