Description

The Asplund Obi Rug, an exquisite piece designed by Färg & Blanche, was inspired by Japanese Geisha culture and the intricate knots and rope bindings seen in their clothing. Created during a residency in Japan in 2015, this rug brings a three-dimensional effect to a flat surface, making it a striking addition to any space. Made from a blend of New Zealand and fine Indian wool, the Obi Rug is available in one color scheme and comes in two sizes.

“Small details are more important in simple minimalist design, because you see every line,” says Sandra Adrian Asplund, creative director at the eponymous Stockholm-based furniture brand. The brothers Asplund—Michael, an art dealer, and Thomas, a banker—originally teamed up to open a gallery that treated furnishings as works of fine art. When their vision took off, Sandra joined the team as creative head (and later spouse of Thomas) to develop a collection in a style they dub “Friendly Minimalism” that has grown into an internationally acclaimed design leader.

A warmer take on iconic Swedish minimalism, the Asplund look is similarly grounded in functionality and and hews to an ethos of sustainably. “Natural materials often require a bit of love and care, but in return, they age beautifully and last a lifetime,” says Sandra. Carefully produced in Sweden with environmentally friendly processes and a large measure of hand craftsmanship, Asplund goods are contemporary heirlooms, she says. “Unless every inch is perfect, it is not good enough.”
