Cappelen Dimyr is an artistic collective based in Copenhagen, which was founded in 2018 by four creatives – two sisters plus one sister’s husband and a friend -- with the goal of making quiet yet sophisticated, richly textured handmade rugs inspired by the rustic southeast coast of Sweden. The collective produces striking made-to-order rugs rendered in natural fibers in earthy, neutral tones. Designed in Scandinavia, each rug is handmade in India in collaboration with local artisans applying their knowledge and craftsmanship. Its workshops are authorized by Good Weave Certification and the certification of Care & Fair. Soft and plush, the rugs speak with the calm elegance of refined Scandinavian design.

This design is a contemporary yet timeless hand-knotted rug in natural wool. The soft fields of shaggy wool pattern create an organic and bohemian vibe to this signature piece. The rug is made in natural and unbleached New Zealand wool in color "shell" a soft off white. A braided chunky fringe edge elevates the end line and adds an arty and ethnic detail.
Any variation in color or detailing is a result of the handcrafted nature of this item and makes each piece unique. Please also note this is a partly long pile and shaggy rug which usually have a tendency to shed more than low pile rugs. Make sure to vacuum often to reduce this.
Care Instructions: Cappelen Dimyr is produced by hand in the finest wool with long and strong fibers. Because of its natural structure, the long pile rugs tend to shed initially, and it is therefore recommended to vacuum the rugs daily in the beginning. It is common for rugs to lose individual fibers, and this has been taken in to consideration in all Cappelen Dimyr designs, to make sure that the excess fibers do not affect the quality of the rug. It is recommended flat spout when vacuuming long pile rugs to avoid damaging the yarn. Make sure not to use a heavy beater bar. Shedding tends to decrease within a couple of months.
