Dashes from Kvadrat

A bold design in a twill construction using felted mill spun yarns for both weft and warp, Dashes is a flat woven rug that takes the classic two coloured pied de poule and abstracts it into a multicoloured polydimensional graphic.

The warp is built out of yarns in six different colours, a plain colour used in alternation with a colourfull multicoloured stripe. The weft sees a slightly thicker yarn used, with two contrasting neutral colours interchanged. On the top of each rug the dark colour builds the rip of the twill and on the lower part the rip is woven in a lighter colour. The locking yarn corresponds to the rip of the twill.

A design that combines well with all natural flooring materials such as oak, slate, concrete, and terrazzo, Dashes is suitable for medium to heavy residential and commercial use, excluding stairs, corridors and use with chair castors.

Dashes rugs are woven by hand in India. Irregularities are a sign of hand weaving, slight differences in colour can also occur.

Regular Care

Regular cleaning is important in order to keep the rug looking its best and to prolong its life. Dust and dirt wear down the rug and also reduce its fire-retardant properties.

Kvadrat rugs are made with care to last. To make sure your rug maintains its vitality and character over a long lifetime, it helps to take good care of it. We recommend vacuum cleaning your rug at least once a week using a vacuum cleaner set to medium power without applying a brush. Always vacuum in the direction of the pile. Please also rotate the rug frequently to prevent wear and fading in the same place. Ideally, the humidity in the room where the rug is located should be around 50%. If humidity falls below 40%, we recommend spraying your rug with water to avoid the yarn to become dry and brittle.

Stain removal

Remove stains immediately. Place a clean, wet cotton cloth and leave it on the stain until it has absorbed it. If needed, dab the stain by working from the edge of the stain inwards. Do not rub to remove the stain.
