Päre rug 170 x 240 cm, black - natural white

Päre wool rug by Mum’s features a simple, repeatable square pattern inspired by roof shingles, päre in Finnish, thin pieces of wood that were traditionally used to cover roofs in Scandinavia. The tightly woven, luxuriously soft wool rug creates a warm and organic atmosphere with its subtle, natural colours.

Mum’s wool rugs are woven by hand from local, mulesing-free wool in Mum’s workshop in Northern India with a strong respect for ethical working conditions and sustainable production.

Finnish brand Mum's started out as an art project of Outi Puro in 2006 and gradually developed into a design company that specializes in ethically produced rugs. Mum's combines Scandinavian design with traditional craftsmanship around the world — its products are made by artisans in India, Cambodia, Bolivia and South Africa. By employing local artisans, Mum’s wants to improve social, economic and environmental well-being and equality. Most of its artisans are women who work from home, and the products are made from local materials, surplus or natural.
