MATERIALS, PROCESS & SUSTAINABILITY
RUGS
The rugs are designed in Los Angeles and made in Portugal. Each rug is woven from a luxurious blend of New Zealand wool and vegan silk using the hand tufting technique.
The rugs are carefully handcrafted using natural and eco-friendly materials, such as wool and vegan silk. Niubó cares for and supports a production process that prioritizes the use of local and environmentally safe, non-toxic solutions.
The artist’s manufacturer Beiriz Atelier in Europe combines a wealth of experience, the finest natural materials and a team of skilled rugs makers. Beiriz Atelier is certified in materials and production with a strong commitment to environmental responsibility, using exclusively locally sourced materials and production. Everything Beiriz atelier uses is sourced locally in Portugal. The dyes, which are also made in Portugal, comply with all European laws and are fully certified.
Bamboo and eucalyptus silk are the two vegan silks used and they are cruelty-free alternative to traditional silk. The rugs are woven using 100% organic bamboo/eucalyptus fiber and Oeko-Tex certified dyes.
Environmentally-friendly New Zealand wool can purify the air, provide thermal comfort, and is both allergy-safe and fire-resistant. It is soil and stain-resistant, with long-term appearance retention, color retention, texture recovery, mildew resistance, and water repellency. Bamboo silk is also a sustainable fabric. Not only is bamboo renewable and extremely fast-growing, but it also needs less chemical intervention to thrive. It has intrinsic moisture-absorption capabilities and is naturally resistant to mold, mildew, and odors, making it excellent for maintaining hypoallergenic and antimicrobial properties. Both materials keep landfills and air clean from VOCs.
