Orb Alliance Rug by Linie Design
EXPLORATION OF PILE DEPTHS CREATE AN INTRIGUING CONTRAST OF NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE SHAPES IN ORB ALLIANCE, WITH THE CIRCLES AND ROUNDED LINES BRINGING AN ORGANIC SOFTNESS TO THE EXPRESSION.
The deep wool pile adds natural warmth and comfort to the interior space, whilst ensuring the rug’s longevity and resilience.
- Designed by Urd Moll Gundermann
- Hand-tufted by finest rug artisans.
- Composition: 100% Wool.
Care and Maintenance:Regular cleaning by vacuuming. Vacuum in the direction of the rug’s pile, but not with the brushes in the “out position”. To be washed flat by a professional carpet cleaner. Most new rugs “shed” and this is very normal. Excess pile should be removed from the rug as it appears. We recommend underlay to avoid discolouration.
100% HAND KNOTTED
Depending on the technique and size of the rug, an artisan can spend weeks or months to finish a rug. All Hand-knotted rugs are by far the most intricate and labour intensive process. An experienced weaver can tie an average of 8,000-10,000 knots per day, with bigger rugs requiring up to several weavers working together on one rug at the same time. This ancient and time-honoured technique is extremely time-consuming, demanding great expertise and precision that takes years of practise.
MEET THE DESIGNER
As Head of Design, Urd Moll Gundermann feels privileged to have the opportunity to create beautiful designs every day. In her role as designer, rugs serve as her creative canvas, working with form, structure and colour until a balanced and functional solution emerges. In addition to designing new collections and exhibition pieces, Urd is also involved in other visual aspects, including creative input to photo shoots, website layout and catalogue.
FROM THE OUTSET THE MISSION WAS CLEAR; TO CREATE HANDWOVEN RUGS THAT REMAINED TRUE TO THE NORDIC DESIGN TRADITIONS OF UNCOMPROMISING QUALITY AND UNCLUTTERED AESTHETICS, AND THIS STILL REMAINS THE CASE TODAY.
Linie Design was founded in 1980 by Keld Agerskov and Hugo Anthon, with the ambition of creating handmade rugs that would merge Danish design and innovation with traditional Indian craftsmanship. Jesper Christiansen and Kenneth Nielsen joined in 1999, and they own the company today, continuing to run Linie Design based on the core values it was established with - with decency, innovation and craftsmanship still pervading every aspect of the business.
Today, Linie Design continues its collaboration with a number of Danish textile designers, led by Head of Design Urd Moll Gundermann. Our rug collections reflect the unique creative styles of each individual designer, reproduced by hand by skilled artisans in India. Whilst keeping traditional heritage values in high esteem and exceptional quality consistently high, the design team use innovative technology and new techniques to create new dimensions and push boundaries in design.
Over the years, as our focus has shifted towards a more international market, Linie Design rugs are now being sold in more than 70 countries worldwide – making us the leading developer of handmade rugs in Northern Europe.
