For this reason, the yarns used in the creation of the Indus rug come from 100% recycled PET plastic fibers, which are, in turn, recyclable at the end of their life. Its surface represents the unique topography of the place where the river flows and is executed using the hand-tufted technique, which allows for the alternation of different volumes in a single piece. Plastic Rivers is a collection composed of four models, each representing a widely polluted river that carries tons of plastic into the oceans. Completing the series are the Niger model, with a circular shape; Yangtze, a large, elongated format, like a runner rug; and Ganges, with a rectangular shape, similar to Indus but even larger.
