Made with 100% recycled and recyclable PET fibers precisely for this reason, the Niger rug is made using the hand-tufted technique to be able to represent the topography of the place, as its execution allows the alternation of different types of volumes in a single piece. Its manufacture is carried out in workshops in India, as a call from the world of craftsmanship against the excesses of the industrial age. Plastic Rivers is a collection composed of four large-format models, each representing a highly polluted river on the planet. Completing the series are the Ganges and Indus models, both rectangular but of different sizes; and Yangtze, in an elongated format, like a runner rug.
