Product Insights
The Tiiliskivi Pure Wool Rug, designed by Armi Ratia in 1952 and produced continuously, is a hand-tufted wool rug by Brink & Campman in India, available in three sizes and colors plus custom sizing. Made from 100% New Zealand wool with a dense 10mm cut pile (~3000 g/m²), it offers durability for moderate to high traffic and furniture stability without dents, though temporary shedding occurs for up to two months. Its repeating grid pattern remains legible regardless of furniture placement and visually complements Marimekko's Unikko print for deliberate pattern-on-pattern rooms. The rug is part of the Unikko 60th-anniversary collection, with SMETA and Responsible Animal Fiber certifications ensuring ethical manufacturing and wool sourcing, and the wool is fully biodegradable and sheds no microplastics. Buyers report color accuracy matches product photos, and the grid pattern allows the colorway to define the room's mood.
