Collection 2016

the collection HANDCRAFTED MODERN

The 2016 Fabula Living collection is a love affair with blue. The strong and calming indigo and deep midnight blue set the tone for many of the new styles, which also introduce ochre and grey, together with an exclusive blend of linen and wool. Nordic story telling and tradition resonate in the design and are blended into contemporary rugs. These features are all underlined by a devotion to craftsmanship and excellent quality.

Along with the classic collection of soft toned wool and linen kilim, the

U N D E R L AY Structure: PES/Glass fibre yarn coated on both sides with a special anti-slip PVC-foam.

High quality underlay avoids rugs from slipping on smooth floors.

The underlay is comfortable to walk on, offers impact sound insulation and protects your rug from premature wear. If flooring is treated with water-based lacquers, allow at least 3 months full drying time before using this product. Only suitable on floorings treated with solvent-free sealants. No adhesion when wet. Thickness app. 2,5 mm.

9 0 X2 4 0 , 1 3 5 X 1 9 0 , 1 6 5 X 2 40, 190X 290, 240X 340 C M

How to care F OR Y OUR R UG

We always recommend using an underlay to extend the life of the rug.

An underlay ensures that the rug remains in a fixed position and reduces the risk of any staining. Most of our kilim rugs are reversible. We recommend that you turn the rug over every six months. Do not place the rug in direct sunlight.

DAI LY C L E AN I N G:

Vacuum the rug as needed. Never vacuum the rug with the brushes of the vacuum cleaner nozzle in the extended position.

You can also give the rug a gentle shake outside. Do not beat the rug.

S P OT C L E AN I N G:

Dab the spot very gently with a damp cloth soaked in carbonated water.

MOR E T HOR OUGH C L E AN I N G:

We recommend professional cleaning.
