More than a simple rug, the Flying Carpet is life at floor level — a comfortable and playful three-dimensional space. Any of its corners can be raised with grey felt-covered wedges, giving it a new enveloping form.
Made of hand-tufted 100% New Zealand wool, the Flying Carpet Rug is available in Red, Green or Grey in two sizes (square or rectangular). Optional wedges are available in two sizes.

This is a handmade craft product. Minor variations, in size and color, are inevitable. Do not dry-clean.
