Meanwhile, the K&B catalog highlights these goals in each of the three rug options. The Chef rug is intended for kitchen use and features a repeated geometric pattern. It comes in an 80-centimeter width, or 31 inches, and is cut to custom lengths as the space requires. The handwoven rug is made from 100% recycled PET yarn. What’s more, 100 PET bottles are used for every square meter of carpet produced. The recycled plastic also ensures the rugs are washable, stain-resistant, fire-resistant and non-slip.
The second rug in the collection, designed by Paolo Zani, also keeps plastic out of the waste stream. Produced in the same color combinations of brown/burgundy, cream/light gray, cream/teal and warm gray/green-gray, the bath version highlights a Greek pattern. The similar Spa rug is made of the same material and offered in the same colors but has its own distinct playful intertwining.
