Pappelina is a best selling Swedish rug brand known for its creative designs, high quality materials, and craftsmanship. Each rug is made in Sweden using sustainable PVC and is perfect for indoor and outdoor use.
Lina Rickardsson’s passion for weaving began with linen rugs and placemats. As her business grew, she discovered a small weaving mill in the heart of Sweden. While there, Lina noticed a wealth of plastic ribbons used to make rugs, and was inspired to create a “new” line of rugs.
Pappelina rugs are sold in Nordstrom, Pottery Barn, West Elm, and hundreds of boutique stores in the U.S. and worldwide.

Patricia Marcia Lerman

Rian Tricot, the Brazilian brand, has mastered the nursery room décor. Their unique, and charming designs have decorated rooms all over the world. Knitting is their raison d’etre.
