Crafted from wool and linen, Ålegræs is a hand-tufted rug in a unique oval shape designed by Cecilie Manz as part of the Landskab Collection. Ålegræs features three different pile heights that create a seagrass-like texture with a three-dimensional effect. Drawing inspiration from the intricate beauty of nature, it has a lively surface framed by a contrasting bouclé border that adds bold definition and elegance.
