ASPLUND THE STORY

Founded in 1990, by brothers Michael and Thomas Asplund, Gallery ASPLUND was exhibiting furniture as objects of fine art. In collaboration with designers and artists the gallery soon became a stage for contemporary art. These collaborations resulted in ASPLUND´s own production line of furniture and contemporary design pieces; ”ASPLUND Collection” led by Creative Director Sandra Adrian Asplund, who joined the company in 1995. The same year the gallery moved to larger premises at our current location, Sibyllegatan 31, where we today have the office, R&D dept, interior & design studio and a store that is also our showroom. With constant influences by literally meeting the end customer, and through our interior architect team’s challenges, we learn daily what is needed in our homes and spaces.

Nature, craftmanship, materials and techniques combined with tradition have always been in focus and our key inspiration. This combined with the knowledge that natural materials both feels vivid and changes gracefully over time, has contributed to the ASPLUND approach of design. Over the years ASPLUND´s signature style has shown the world that Swedish minimalism can be warm and elegant. We work to create design classics that can be passed on for generations.

Today ASPLUND is an internationally acclaimed design establishment, which has contributed significantly to the idea of contemporary Swedish design. ASPLUND Collection, created in collaboration with renowned designers, can be found in homes, hotels and public spaces globally. Today ASPLUND is represented at retailers worldwide. The rest is both history, the present and hopefully the future.

ABOUT OUR CARPETS

The ASPLUND Carpet Collection was born out of a dream to follow our concept and expand our existing collection with a high quality carpet range. A mix of international and Swedish traditions and, at the same time, using old techniques combined with modern patterns and design for a contemporary style.

We like our carpets to be stylish and durable enough to be passed on for generations and therefore only the finest materials and techniques are good enough. A high quality carpet is easier to maintain and will last through the different periods of life. Our carpets are woven, knotted or tufted by hand and by skilled craftsmen. Handcrafting makes each rug unique, like a piece of art. We use superior quality New Zealand wool as primary material. The wool is rich in natural fats that give the carpets a beautiful luster while also providing good protection against stains. We also combine our wool with Tencel in some of our designs, for a characteristic look and feel.

The first carpets we produced were unique pieces made together with Swedish artists and designers. Followed by a higher demand we developed several new carpet icons like the Crux, the Convex and the ”O”, just to mention a few. We collaborate with international as well as Swedish designers such as Marc Newson, Piero Lissoni, Tom Dixon, Thomas Sandell, Jonas Bohlin, Claesson Koivisto Rune and Broberg & Ridderstråle.

We have been producing our beautiful carpets working with the same family-owned factory in India for over 30 years. It is a factory that deeply cares for its employees and their families. Here everything is made by hand; From the wool dyed and then tufted, knotted or woven by hand into beautiful carpets using the finest yarns and techniques.

/The ASPLUND Family

COSTOM MADE

If you are on the lookout for something truly unique, our carpets can be custom made to suit your individual preference. We are happy to adjust the shapes, sizes, patterns and colours of our designs to complement your home, office or public space.

HAND KNOTTED RUGS

MAZE Hand Knotted Indo Nepal

ASPLUND I HAND KNOTTED RUGS

The beauty and durability of a hand knotted rug is beyond compare. We offer 4 different qualities:

1. INDO NEPAL – PLATINUM 8/40 (75% New Zeeland wool, 25% Tencel™) – Our most exclusive hand knotted rugs. They are labeled with a platinum coloured leather label. These rugs have the most dense knotting, about 122 000 knots per m² and are highly suitable for applying a design or pattern. Pile height is approximately 23–25 mm.

2. TIBETHAN THIN – Made slightly thinner than the Tibetan and with a shorter pile. It is made from either 100% New Zealand wool with a cut out pattern or a pattern in a Tencel™/wool blend. The blend gives the carpet a beautiful luster and shine.

3. SUMAK – An ancient knotted technique with a braided look and a raised pile pattern. 100% wool (New Zealand and fine Indian wool mix) is used.

4. A-KNOT – Made with medium-sized knots (very much like the Tibetan Thin knot), in 100% Indian wool.

Since our hand knotted rugs are made to order we are flexible with sizes.

Calculate the square meter (m²) like this:

Rectangular: width x length = m²

Round: radius x radius x 3,14 (pi) = m²

HAND KNOTTED PLATINUM INDO NEPAL

Our hand knotted rugs labeled Platinum, with a mix of 75% New Zealand wool and 25% Tencel™, are our top of the line rugs in the ASPLUND Carpet Collection. Indo Nepal is a fine knotted rug with a delicately cut pile. Indo Nepal is also available in one, monochrome, colour.

PLEASE OBSERVE: For customer size do not forget to take into consideration that the pattern will be scaled to size or repeated. Sizing is to be confirmed with ASPLUND pre-order.

FLEUR - HAND KNOTTED PLATINUM INDO NEPAL

This rug is a hand knotted Platinum Indo Nepal, one of our finest rugs. A hand knotted base in one-colour-wool with flower petals in a Tencel™-mix where some of them have an elevated pile to enhance the feeling of real flowers.

The Fleur rug was designed to give the classic flower pattern a modern take. Inspired by the floors of a flower shop, where a bunch of different flowers were thrown from a high ladder onto the floor, creating a realistic, one of a kind, beautiful pattern.

PLEASE OBSERVE: For customer size the pattern will be adjusted to size by ASPLUND.

HANDLOOM QUALITY

This year, we are introducing a new carpet quality, HANDLOOM. Our Creative Director, Sandra Adrian Asplund, has specifically worked on a quality wool blend that we have found missing in our own interior projects and also requested by our customers. It meets our needs for quality, appearance and functionality. Here, we have chosen to develop a seemingly simple addition to the collection. A thin but luxuriously soft and durable, yet lively knitwoven carpet.

A-KNOT – HAND KNOTTED RUG

This rug is hand knotted in 75% Indian wool and 25% New Zeeland wool. The A-Knot is made in a light hand knotting technique, very much like the Tibetan Thin knot. This rug is highly suitable in high usage spaces and the perfect rug for floors with heating systems. We recommend this quality for public spaces instead of our hand tufted designs.

The A-knot has almost the same appearance as our hand tufted rugs and are also available in most of ASPLUND’s tufted rug designs.

Available in all standard colours. Carpet colour guide at page 61

HAND TUFTED RUGS

MR DOTTIE Hand tufted

Hand tufted rugs should not be mixed up with machine-made tufted rugs. Hand tufting is a traditional method, which requires a high level of craftsmanship. Our rugs are entirely made by hand: the yarn is hand dyed, tufted by hand with a small mechanical tool and finally sheared, using hand held scissors. No electricity is used.

Our hand tufted rugs are available in different shapes and measures. We have a wide range of different designs and patterns and also a high availability for customers to order other sizes.

We use 100% wool (New Zealand and fine Indian wool mix) and Tencel as primary bases for our tufted rugs. This wool is rich in natural fats that give the rugs a beautiful luster while also providing good protection against stains. Tencel is a natural fiber from fast growing forests and is 95% bio degradable. Our tufted rugs have either 100% of one material or a mix of the both, depending on the choosen design. Please see information on every rug separately.

The pile height is approx 2 cm and the weight is approx 3,5 kg/m². Unlike the 100% wool, the pile of the Woolsilk rugs are lightly rough cut.

For spaces with heated floors over 20+ degrees, please consider our A Knot quality, page 18.

Calculate the square meter (m²) like this:

Rectangular: width x length = m²

Round: radius x radius x 3,14 (pi)= m²

PLEASE OBSERVE:

Where it says “%”, the carpet has to be proportionally enlarged/decreased. Do not forget to take the pattern repeat into consideration.

Requested width x 1,5 = length

(Taken from the standard size pattern 160x240, for square or round, the pattern will just be larger or smaller following the size of the carpet)

For fixed sizes, specials can be made with new design made by ASPLUND Studio.

ÎLE - HAND TUFTED IN WOOLSILK

A series of hand tufted rugs in geometric shapes.

When designing these rugs Piero Lissoni had the transition spaces in mind; The spaces that did not naturally have a given position for a rectangular or round carpet. He wanted to twist our perspective and let us perceive a room from a new angle and with an open mind. These rugs have been proven more utile and have become one of our most popular rugs. They really make a homey rug - like an island - in those difficult spaces.

Carpet colour guide at page 62. Customer size on request. Please note that the measurements are approximate as corners are rounded.

WEDGE - HAND TUFTED RUG – Fixed colour and material

The Wedge rugs are made of either 100% Tencel™, 100% wool or woolsilk. They are available in two colours set schemes: Neutrals or Blues. Please note that Tencel™ without the support of wool will lie down and appear paler after sometime of usage. The colours do not fade even if it may have the illusion of such. A mix of 50% wool and 50% Tencel™ will balance the pile and make it stay in shape.

Geometric patterns have been a recurring item throughout Marie-Louise Hellgrens designs. Wedge is no exception, however, there is a subtle twist to the patterns. If you take a closer look you may find small spontaneous variations to the hand-sketched geometric designs. For Marie-Louise it is always important that her work includes subtle energy that, at a first glance may look symmetric, but then surprises you with something new every time you look.

Please note that we also have new versions of Wedge: Wedge 2, which you can find among standard tuffted.

Standard size:

100% wool or 100% Tencel™ 160 x 240 cm

Please note!

Tencel may be perceived lighter than a 100% wool carpet.

PLEASE OBSERVE:

For Wedge Neutrals the pattern can be enlarged in a repeat of approximately 16 and 8 cm. Wedge Blues has a fixed pattern. The width can be enlarged in a 8 cm repeat. For a length more than 240 cm, a new design has to be made by our Studio.

OBI - HAND TUFTED RUG – Fixed colour and material

OBI is made of 100% wool (New Zealand and fine Indian wool mix) The idea for OBI developed during a three months long residency in Japan during 2015. Färg & Blanche took inspiration from the Japanese Geisha Culture and all the knots and rope bindings they saw in their clothing. ”We wanted to give the carpet a three-dimensional effect, an organic shape on a flat surface”.

OBI was first shown for ASPLUND during the exhibition AMOUR mon AMOUR in Milan 2017. These rugs look perfekt hung on the wall as well.

Medium 120 cm

AURORA - HAND TUFTED RUG – Fixed

colour and material

The inspiration of the Aurora rug was the designer Gabriel Tan´s fascination of the Northern lights. For him the aurora is like the holy grail, despite a few trips to the far north it always escaped him. The designer experimented with different colour variants of the aurora such as purple and bright green, but decided on a more classic and warmer palette more suited to the home.

The Aurora rug is made of a wool and tencel blend and looks just as good on the floor as on the wall.

Pattern only in one set colour scheme, base can be alternated.

ASPLUND I HAND WOVEN CARPETS

Our handwoven carpets are made manually by skilled craftsmen on traditional flat looms in small villages along the Ganges River in India. The different looks are defined by the different wool qualities and patterns woven into or stitched onto them.

The Kelim carpets, which are woven with a warp in wool, have a shiny and fat wool base. They are mad we with traditional techniques of Anatolian origin.

The Dhurrie carpets are also made in a traditional nomadic way, but in contrast to the Kelim carpets they have a warp in cotton. The base of the Dhurries also feel a bit stiffer.

ASPLUND – CARPET CARE/MAINTENANCE

In general, the life length of a carpet is mainly based on 2 things:

1. The technique and yarn quality. 2. How you take care of it.

A high quality carpet regardless of technique and quality, shall be maintained with stain removal, whipping and vacuuming regularly.

WOOL – KNOTTED AND TUFTED RUGS, WOVEN CARPETS

Wool fibres will come of the first months, speed up the process by vacuuming it regularly. Use brush out only once or twice, then without brush to preserve the pile.

Instant stain removal – use a damp lukewarm natural cloth with a tiny bit of wooden soap water, preferably the yellow kind to avoid bleed. Dab the stain until the stain is gone. If you need more water, do use a towel under the rug/carpet to make sure that it does not go through to the floor. Rinse the cloth and finish off with a clean damp cloth. Blow dry the wet spot with a hairdryer (medium heat,minimum 30 cm away from the pile).

For oil stains we recommend you to use - Cornstarch, baking soda or talcum to absorb the oil for 15 minutes. Vacuum the powder off. Blot with a damp soap water cloth to rinse the oil and powder further. Finish with a damp clean cloth. Be sure to never rub on an oil stain since it will just push the oil further into the yarn fibers.

SILK AND TENCEL – KNOTTED AND TUFTED RUGS

Fine fibres will come of the first months, speed up the process by vacuuming it regularly. Use brush out only once or twice, then without brush to preserve the pile.

Stains on silk or Tencel rugs should preferably not be removed with too much water. Try a slightly lukewarm damp cloth on a small part of the rug/carpet to be sure of the result. For severe stains; Pour some baking soda on the stain, let stay 30–60 minutes, then vaccum over it. For odor removal spray lightly with a mix of water and clear vinegar. Wipe/dab off carefully after a couple of minutes. Never use hot water on silk or tencel, it will destroy the fibres.

CARPET CLEANING

Do not wait too long to take your rug/carpet to the dry cleaners if needed. If you have ingrown stains they will be difficult to remove. Always wash at a professional carpet cleaner. A good cleaner knows which rug/carpet would be water washed or dry cleaned, flat cleaned or cleaned hanging. Make sure that the label always stays on for the cleaner to have the yarn and manufacturing quality.

Avoid to bring your rug/carpet to the cleaner too often though. Instead, take good care of it so you do not have to. A hand tufted rug/carpet may for example risk having the backcloth damaged if washed too often.

An old northern tip is to put your rug/carpet upside down in the snow during winter. This is really good for the carpets in general but shall not be made on the ones with strongly contrasting colours. And please note, tufted rugs shall only be turned and whipped in the snow shortly, otherwise if really cold outside it may break the backing cloth and glue.

PLEASE NOTE!

• Never use chemicals on your rug/carpet.

• Rotate your rug/carpet once in a while so it will be worn evenly and to avoid direct sunlight shadings.

• We provide general carpet care advice, always check the separate carpet or advice a professional carpet cleaner.

• Stain removal methods is depending on which type of stain it is.
