NEW RELEASE // BEAUTIFUL LOUX RUG

Kvadrat releases a new designer rug collection called Loux; a handwoven pile rug with a luminous surface and sensual materiality, crafted from 100% LYOCELL with a dense and luxuriously soft texture.

The Linear Loux rug emerges and recedes with shifting light, breaking the coloured expanse into delicate loop and pile rows of varying colour depth. The border and fringes are constructed using the Sumak technique and hand-tied knotting.

Loux is available in various patterns with a palette of 12 colours, inspired by the lustre of precious metals and stones, ranging from cool, pearlescent tones of porcelain, silver and oyster to deeper, rich tones of brass, cedar and onyx. The fringes can be dyed to match or contrast with the body of the rug.

Designed for residential spaces with light to moderate use, Loux can be customised in size, shape and finishing details, offering understated elegance tailored to individual spaces.

Available to order from Tekstura.

Note: Rugs made from lyocell must be treated with extra care, especially in connection with water and liquids as the fibres are more delicate when wet.

​ABOUT LYOCELL
Lyocell (Tencel) is a fibre produced from regenerated cellulose, a natural and renewable material typically derived from wood pulp. With its fine filament structure, lyocell’s softness resembles that of silk, while its durability ensures long-lasting beauty. Its exceptional light-reflecting quality gives textiles and rugs a distinctive lustre and dynamic surface. Lyocell absorbs and releases moisture quickly, helping regulate temperature and contributing to a comfortable interior climate. The lyocell fibre is produced through a closed-loop system. Wood pulp is first dissolved using a solvent, to create a viscous solution, which is then filtered and spun into endless fibres. These fibres are washed, dried, cut and spun into yarn. More than 99% of the solvent is recovered and reused, minimising waste and conserving water.
