Floor Rugs at Koskela

Koskela’s store is open six days a week with the full range of floor rugs on display here. We’re based at Sub Base Platypus in North Sydney, which is easy to get to by public transport or there is plenty of car parking available. From Monday to Saturday, 10am-4pm, our doors are open for you to come see the floor rugs in person, to get a sense of the scale, as well as the colour and texture.

If you can’t get to the Koskela store, but you are based in Sydney, we can come to you! Koskela has samples of the styles we have available for each floor rug brand, and we will bring them along for the ride. By visiting your home, our consultants will get a better sense of your space and style to match you with the right floor rug.

Again, if you live in Sydney, we can loan you a floor rug overnight. This is a great option if you are in the final consideration phase; nothing beats seeing the floor rug in your space to help you decide if it’s the one. To organise a rug loan, you just need to speak to one of our consultants either in store, or if they visit your home.

Koskela stocks the flat-weave version of these rugs, crafted from wool. These rugs are designed in Scandinavia and woven in Ethiopia. No chemicals are used to process or dye the wool, and so the floor rugs are a completely natural product that lend a cosy authenticity to spaces.

‘Rrres’ is a name that means nothing, an impactful metaphor for the design studio based in Oaxaca, Mexico, which heroes the artisan makers over the value of branding and logos.

Rrres partners with Oaxaca weavers to combine traditional Zapotec weaving with contemporary designs to embody the culture and heritage of Latin America. The 100 percent wool floor rugs are handmade by these artisan weavers, undergoing a lengthy process of washing, dyeing, shuttling, weaving and finally cleaning the rugs to create quality woven pieces of art for your floors.

Pampa is a Byron Bay-based brand, with the floor rugs woven in Argentina. In many parts of Argentina, natural dyes, patterns inspired by nature and the traditions of manual weaving are slowly fading away. Pampa was founded with the desire to support protect this woven heritage, working directly with the artisans and supporting them with higher-than-average wages for the region to produce high quality and long-lasting floor rugs.

Pampa floor rugs are incredibly soft, made from 100 percent raw sheep and llama’s wool. The artisans weave with the hand-dyed yarns on their own crafted wooden looms in their backyards, a single rug can take over several weeks to be finished.

Koskela stocks a range of ready-to-ship Pampa rugs, but we can also facilitate custom Pampa rugs, which are available in a vast range of colours and sizes.

A flatweave floor rug collection crafted from wool. Designer Begüm Cânâ Özgür seeks to reinvigorate the practice of rug weaving in Anatolia, Turkey. This region has a history and culture of nomadic rug weaving that is slowly being lost. The eponymous brand works with women weavers from around the villages of Anatolia, providing an income that supports traditional crafts. 

The contemporary floor rugs have a corduroy-like texture and a simple graphic design in colours that bring a unique yet earthy feeling to the interior.
