We have quite the wish list when it comes to a rug. It needs to be pretty large (250 cm x 350 cm preferably), made from wool or cotton or another organic material (we have underfloor heating) and the print and colour needs to be perfect as well. Besides that, it would be nice if the price tag is acceptable too.

In search of the perfect rug I found this amazing brand. Westwing currently has a sale of Linie Design pieces, unfortunately they don’t have anything in the size we like, and that is how I discovered this amazing Danish brand. Their aesthetics fit my style perfectly and also the price is reasonable as far as I can find.

Linie Design was founded in the 1980’s in Denmark. They work together with some amazing designers to create their beautiful rugs. Everything is handmade in India. I like the fact that the brand wants to take good care of the weavers and their family, something that is in my opinion necessary in a country as India (some companies seem to think they can take advantage of the people and regulations there). The working conditions are safe and 350 children get to go the the Linie Design School. Besides that, they also make sure their production is as environmental friendly as possible.

The only downside is that it is hard to find a place online or even a store in The Netherlands where I can shop their full collection. However, persistence pays off! I am not giving up yet…
