Natural fibre rugs have long been designer favourites—their earthy texture lends a relaxed, easy vibe to a space and their higher-than-average durability makes them a practical choice too. Hemp rugs are beautiful, warm and textural. They’re a better eco-friendly alternative to synthetic fibre rugs. The Rug Republic’s Happiness with Hemp collection is a curation of exquisite designs and a burst of lovely textural patterns.
Hemp is the strongest of all natural plant fibres, thereby making it perfect for high-traffic areas. They’re water-tough and mildew-resistant. Their fibres do not deteriorate when wet (unlike other plant fibres), making them great for kitchens and bathrooms too. Hemp fibres are naturally hypoallergenic with anti-bacterial properties, similarly, they’re naturally resistant to mold and ultraviolet light. They are not only eco-friendly but they’re also biodegradable and sustainably made.
Of the Happiness with Hemp collection, the Camdale Rug encompasses geometric print which is hand-woven in hemp and wool, while the Jayla Rug strikes a lovely diamond tile pattern encapsulating the essence of recycled denim and hemp. The Curaxy Rug’s natural hemp shade is extremely versatile and works well with both light and dark hardwood floors. Shades of blue in a hexagonal pattern offer a fresh change from regular shapes in Oslava Rug. Elaina Rug’s staircase pattern and contemporary Panoply Rug are part of the rug collection.
The Zenon footstool is crafted using recycled eucalyptus wood and upholstered using hand-woven wool, hemp and viscose rug, while the Bervie Pouf is hand-woven in wool, recycled fabric, durable cotton and hemp. A delightfully hand-woven Bervie cushion made of wool, hemp and recycled fabric is also included in the collection.
