Bambusa combines a rich, dense structure with vibrant colours to eye-catching effect. Designed by Ulf Moritz and Felix Diener, it has a very individual expression, which is vibrant yet understated.
The unusually dense structure of Bambusa contains over 1.9 million bamboo viscose yarns every square metre. Thanks to this compactness, the rug’s short 12 mm pile, and the sophisticated shimmer of its bamboo viscose yarns, it has a distinctively deep and elegant sheen.
Bambusa comes in 20 sophisticated colours, which are a modern interpretation of those used in ancient Persian rugs. These range from natural hues, such as wheat, cream and pale moss green, to bolder tones, such as deep red and teal.

Traffic Suitable for moderate to medium residential use with exceptions of stairways, corridors or with the use of castors
A steel tumbler with rubber studs rolls freely in a rotating drum and wears the surface of the test samples inside of the drum. After 5.000 and 20.000 turns the sample is examined and rated by five inspectors based on the changes in its surface structure and colour.
Rugs that meet the minimum requirements of the test are rated from 21 (worst) to 23 (best) for residential use and 31 (worst) to 33 (best) for residential and commercial use.

Fire tests ASTM D 2859/CPSC FF 1-70/FF 2-70, 16 CFR 1630
Flame retardant performance depends on the type of foam used. There are differing requirements concerning the flame-retardancy of textiles dependent on the area of application, country or even region. Our textiles pass the majority of international standards and are also tested for a selection of regional requirements.

LightFastness
ISO 105-B02
Lightfastness relates to the ability of a textile to retain its colour under light. When testing for lightfastness, samples are exposed to artificial daylight for a specified period.
The evaluation scale ranges from 1 (worst) to 8 (best). An increase of one point corresponds to a doubling of the lightfastness, i.e. the same fading takes twice as long.
- Produced in: United Kingdom
- Production method: Tufted
- Slight colour differences may occur
- Round or odd shape possible, will be calculated as a square or rectangle
- One m² contains 1.9 million bamboo viscose threads. Therefore some may detach when the rug is in use, particularly with new rugs
- Rugs made with bamboo viscose will reduce the amount they shed but will not cease shedding completely. This will not affect the appearance or quality of the rug
- If a bamboo viscose rug gets wet it will take a few days to dry fully. Do not walk on it as it will damage the yarns. The (wet) rug should not be rubbed as the structure may change
- Warranty: 2 years
- Production time: 6 – 9 weeks

Product information
Regular cleaning is important in order to keep the rug looking its best and to prolong its life. Dust and dirt wear down the rug and also reduce its fire-retardant properties.

Stain removal
Remove stains immediately. Place a clean, wet cotton cloth and leave it on the stain until it has absorbed it. If needed, dab the stain by working from the edge of the stain inwards. Do not rub to remove the stain. Bamboo viscose Do not walk on or rub a wet bamboo viscose rug, as this will damage the structure of the yarn. It will take a few days for a bamboo rug to fully dry. Silk rugs Every stain, including plain water, should only be treated with soda water. Vinegar or tap water should never be used. We always recommend professional cleaning of the rug when necessary.

Regular care
Kvadrat rugs are made with care to last. To make sure your rug maintains its vitality and character over a long lifetime, it helps to take good care of it. We recommend vacuum cleaning your rug at least once a week using a vacuum cleaner set to medium power without applying a brush. Always vacuum in the direction of the pile. Please also rotate the rug frequently to prevent wear and fading in the same place. Ideally, the humidity in the room where the rug is located should be around 50%. If humidity falls below 40%, we recommend spraying your rug with water to avoid the yarn to become dry and brittle.
