The Duotone made-to-measure carpet can be made to the exact dimensions you require, up to a maximum of 300 x 600 cm. The strength of the Duotone rug lies in its simplicity. Each rug is woven using just two colours: one for the weft, the other for the stitch. It is the interplay between these two colours that gives the rugs their personality.
"It's the simplest possible construction for a woven carpet, a kind of archetype," says Hella Jongerius. "It's an allusion to Hallingdal", Kvadrat's most iconic upholstery fabric, which uses the same technique and plays wonderfully on two-tone contrasts to create a rich range of colours. The different yarn thicknesses give the carpet an attractive irregularity. Duotone brings colour to a space, but is never overpowering, thanks to the blend of yarns that softens its intensity. It is hand-woven by skilled weavers in India using wool from New Zealand.
You can order a square, rectangular or round rug. The order unit is the square decimeter (10 x 10 cm). For example, if you want a rectangular rug measuring 120 x 130 cm, you'll need to order 12 x 13 = 156 units.
If you want a round rug, you need to order the equivalent of the square rug containing your round rug. For example, for a Ø120 cm rug, you'd need to order the equivalent of a 120 x 120 cm rug, i.e. 144 units.
