PAPPELINA

ONCE UPON A TIME IN SWEDEN …

It all started as a coincidence in 1999 when Ms. Lina Rickardsson, the founder and creative director of Pappelina, searched for a weaving mill. Starting with easy, classic stripes, her design ideas soon started to wander towards patterns and the jacquard looms.

“I always been able to visualise my designs, today and back when I started. The now iconic VERA rug (a timeless, simple, playful, and contemporary pattern launched in 2002) came to me early and I never had any doubts about the pattern and what colours to do (Black, White, Red, Green, Blue, Nougat, Orange and Grey). I knew instantly when the first sample came out of the loom that the design was going to be la asting success for Pappelina.” Since 2002 Pappelina has sold over 150.000 VERA rugs worldwide and still today, it brings a lot of joy to many homes around the world and still is our icon and bestseller.

THE PAPPELINA PRODUCTION

All Pappelina rugs are made at our local weaving mill in the small village of Lek­sand (Sweden). Each rug represents a pie­ce of Swedish craftsmanship and thanks to great composition, high quality materi­als and devoted craftsmen and -women, Pappelina always bring you a durable, contemporary and colourful design.

A Pappelina rug is truly a piece of artistry. Technology and materials are constantly being challenged by our weaving masters to achieve new results. A rug from Pappelina is exclusively woven from the purest plastic ribbons made in Sweden. The plastic we use is guaranteed non-toxic (no phthalates or hazardous substance used!) and is approved for use in the food industry and to produce toys in both the EU and the US (All rugs are made of 92% Swedish phthalate free, non-toxic PVC and 8% polyes­ter warp).

When you buy a rug from us, we give you a 3-year warranty. This is the reason why a Pappelina rug is exceptional and world-leading in its standard and quality.
