Description

Sera Helsinki's Nurja rug showcases a distinctive feature with the placement of its fringes. Unlike traditional rugs where fringes are typically found on the shorter sides, the Nurja carpet places them on the longer side, adding a unique touch to its design. This unconventional placement, along with variations in the height of the pile, creates a fascinating combination of details that adds character to any room and space.

Designed by Laura Seppänen, the Nurja rug is part of Sera Helsinki's rug collection that is created in collaboration with Finnish women designers. Like other Sera Helsinki rugs, the Nurja is handcrafted in Ethiopia using local, hand-wound sheep wool, which is also spun into yarn by hand. The yarn is not dyed or chemically treated, and the shade of the wool may thus naturally vary slightly from rug to rug, making each rug unique. The surface of untreated sheep's wool contains the wool's own fat, lanolin, which naturally repels dirt, making wool rugs surprisingly easy to keep clean. Please note that the rugs' size may also vary by a couple of centimeters, as the rugs are woven or knotted by hand, according to centuries-old traditions.

Notes
Each rug is handmade and unique. The yarn used is not chemically treated (bleached or dyed) and therefore the colouring is natural and the shades of the rugs may vary slightly. The sizes of the rugs may vary by a few centimetres, too. However, this is not a fault but is characteristic of handmade products.
Care instructions
Untreated wool naturally contains dirt-repellent lanolin and is therefore easy to keep clean. If needed, the rug can be vacuumed, cleaned in snow, beaten or washed. If you wash the rug, make sure to dry it completely before placing it back on the floor.
