Introducing Stad Rug

The Stad Rugs are collectibles, one of a kind carpets, inspired by the Stadlandet peninsula, Westcoast Norway.

With sheep grazing freely, surfers enjoying the heavy sea and saltwater in the air, silence is to be found walking in the midst of a rich cultural heritage. Here the rough nature, stormy weather and fast changing light, poses an endless catalogue of inspiration, forming the essence of my woven fibre art and design works. A sacred space, that you can revisit and that keep the ocean close to your heart.

The carpets are Handwoven on a floor flatweave loom, in my remote studio by the sea. I used locally sourced and manufactured wool rye yarn, manufactured in a tiny mill deep hidden in the inlands of Norway. Some carpets have a massage feature, to obtain a textured and tactile surface with therapeutic purpose, I added paper yarn.

I invite you to visit The Ocean Weavery Design studio and Showroom, for a look and a feel. In the journal article you can read insights of the making process.
