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 perfect hung on the wall as well.

100% wool (New Zealand and fine Indian wool mix).

The rug is named Obi because it is inspired by Japanese knots and rope ties, such as those found on the belt of a geisha’s kimono.
