den

Inspired by children's play forts, Den embraces play for all ages. Drawn in by the exposed tufting, the unassuming form expands to create a new environment in which to escape.

The Den rug was designed as part of a global collaboration between Lincoln University (UK), Philadelphia University, and San Jose State University.

Den made its world debut in Milan, Italy at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in SaloneSatellite in April 2011. Since then, the design has been exhibited at several other notable design events including the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York and The National Centre for Craft and Design in Sleaford, UK.

We are still seeking a manufacturer.
