Star Rug

Star rug by Emma Olbers for Asplund.

Honouring their Nordic heritage, Asplund creates contemporary furniture in collaboration with celebrated Swedish designers and architects. Their simple, versatile and high-quality designs make for considered, functional living and working. Part of the naturals range.

The idea for the old classic pattern comes from the paving of Orvieto’s cathedral that Emma visited during a trip to Italy.

The geometric pattern creates an optical illusion as the eyes try to identify stars, cubes, stripes and more.
