Aram 2, a re-edition of the flatweave rug Aram, explores the dynamic between volume, structure and colour. It is handwoven from pure New Zealand wool and brings a fresh perspective to the artisanal Sumak weaving technique.
An exceptionally comfortable rug, Aram 2 is characterised by subtle movement in its meticulous colour blends. It is constructed by looping bundles of plied yarns around the warp, creating a multidimensional expression reminiscent of magnified braided ribs.
These are space-dyed by hand in stages, in a scale of lighter to darker shades. This approach infuses every single yarn with an individual colour expression. As a result, Aram 2 offers a scale of refined nuances and subtle colour rhythms that play across its surface.
A finely woven woollen border complements the ground and completes the design. Furthermore, a finishing process, including singeing and washing, accentuates the rug's tactility and the crispness of its surface.

Traffic Suitable for medium to heavy residential and commercial 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.

LightFastness {{site.selectedConfiguration.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.

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.
