Lietuva Rug - carpet

• Designer: WhyNot! designstudio
• Dimensions: 260x170cm
• Lithuanian Design Prize Winner

The Whynot! has designed the Lietuva linen rug after being inspired by the Lithuanian identity - its old traditions, its colours, its clothes and its crafts. One of the unique Lithuanian handicraft elements are the brightly colored woven stripes, which were formerly used in the national costumes. Different yarns are woven together to form geometric patterns, while the stylized flowers end up in elegant color combinations. In the rug, these artistic marks are used alongside contemporary modern linenwork that carries a touch of the Lithuanian spirit. Lietuva comes in different colors characteristic of Lithuanian nature: the blue of the lakes and winter frosts, the light gray tones reflecting the sky, the green of the forests contrasting with the wild sand dunes. Linen rug Lietuva is a reflection of Lithuania.
