Product Insights
Marimekko's Iso Kivet rug, based on Maija Isola's 1956 Kivet pattern archived at Cooper Hewitt, is tufted by 125-year-old Brink & Campman at a 3000 g/m² pile density in 100% NZ wool, delivering a plush step and sculptural depth from carved 10 mm pile and multicolor variations, with lanolin-based stain resistance that allows 30–60 seconds to blot spills and fiber recovery after 20,000 compression cycles to resist matting, but requires vacuuming without brush to avoid fuzzing, an initial 3-6 month shedding phase, and professional cold-water washing every 18–24 months (never steam clean), while its heavy cotton-latex backing eliminates the need for a rug pad and enables robot vacuum compatibility.
