Studio Rouhunkoski & Mikkonen have designed the new Waffle and Geo rug collections for Roots Living. The handwoven Waffle hemp rugs and the hand-tufted Geo wool rugs complement Roots Living's harmonious collection with fresh textures and colours. Known for their timeless design and POIAT furniture, Studio Rouhunkoski & Mikkonen have designed these elegant rugs to reflect shared values with Roots Living: responsibility, sustainability, quality, and beauty. The collaboration is driven by a mutual interest in creating timeless design pieces that enrich interiors with architectural and aesthetic subtlety.
Inspired by the history of architecture
The Waffle and Geo rugs draw inspiration from the designers' fascination with the history of architecture and its key elements. Both rugs feature a clean, minimalist design approach, seamlessly combining carefully selected details with architectural balance. "Large, high-quality rugs are among the most important elements in creating a home's atmosphere and coziness. Rugs often unify furniture arrangements and provide the foundation for the rest of the interior design," the designers explain.
Waffle Hemp Rug – Inspired by the rugs in the 1950s
The Waffle collection features two rug designs: Waffle Line and Waffle Square. The design combines the ambiance of the 1950s with modern minimalism. The textured loops and raised surfaces create a visually striking three-dimensional appearance. Available in various sizes, the rugs' edge details allow seamless alignment, enabling the creation of large rug compositions.
