Monochromatic Beauty: Ply Rug in Black/White

Immerse yourself in the monochromatic beauty of the Ply Rug in Black/White by Margrethe Odgaard for Muuto, a striking piece that transcends simplicity to make a bold statement. As the designer herself, Margrethe Odgaard, notes, "Choosing the right color combination can make a strong statement and reach people not only through the eyes but also through the feelings it generates." The black and white palette of this rug is not merely a design choice; it's a harmonious blend that evokes emotion and captivates the senses.

Plywood Inspiration: Layers of Craftsmanship

The Ply Rug draws inspiration from its namesake, as textile ply mirrors the construction of plywood—several individual strands combined in one thread, resulting in a robust and structured material. In a similar fashion, the rug is a testament to craftsmanship, where layers of design come together to create a visually stunning and structurally sound piece. This interplay of elements reflects the depth and thoughtfulness embedded in the creation of the Ply Rug.

Tassel Elegance: A Nod to Tradition

Adding a touch of elegance, the Ply Rug features two tassels at separate ends, serving as more than just a finishing detail. Unlike conventional corners, these tassels are natural extensions to the weaving of the sides, creating a visual entrance and exit to the rug's design. Beyond aesthetics, the tassels pay homage to the rich history of traditional handwoven rugs, infusing the Ply Rug with a sense of continuity and cultural resonance. As Margrethe Odgaard aptly puts it, "The new generation of designers in Scandinavia know the history and craft of our culture, making beautiful and functional products for everyday life."
