Woud Rombo rug - 160074

The Woud Rombo Rug gets its name from something pretty cool - those distinctive little diamond shapes (rhombi) that naturally form from how it's woven. Studio MLR figured out this clever way to combine 65% wool with 35% jute that creates these small geometric patterns across the surface without it looking busy or overwhelming. The result is this robust, textured rug that feels substantial underfoot but still has enough visual interest to anchor a space. Available in multiple sizes from a runner format (75x200cm) perfect for hallways, to larger room sizes like 170x240cm for living areas, plus that versatile middle size (90x140cm) that works pretty much anywhere you need it. The color options are really thoughtful too - brown brings warmth, grey feels contemporary, and that moss green adds just enough personality without being loud about it.

What makes the Rombo different from typical flat-weave rugs is how those straight border lines at both ends frame the diamond pattern in the middle. It's this smart design detail that keeps the geometric elements from feeling chaotic - instead, you get this nice contrast between the structured borders and the more organic-feeling rhombi pattern. The wool-jute blend handles daily life really well, whether you're dealing with foot traffic in entryways or just want something durable enough for kids and pets. The jute adds that natural sturdiness while the wool keeps things comfortable and soft enough that you don't mind walking on it barefoot. Plus, the weaving technique means the pattern has this subtle depth and texture that changes slightly depending on lighting and viewing angle.

Woud found exactly what they were looking for in Studio MLR, led by Marie-Louise Rosholm who brings over thirty years of textile design experience from working in both Milan and Copenhagen. Her deep understanding of materials shows in how the Rombo balances durability with aesthetics - this isn't just a pretty rug that falls apart after six months of real use. The approach fits perfectly with what founders Mia and Torben Koed set out to create when they started Woud in 2014: connecting international design expertise with Danish values of honest materials and functional beauty. The Rombo represents exactly that philosophy - taking traditional weaving techniques and materials, then applying contemporary design thinking to create something that works in modern homes while still feeling timeless and well-made.

Maintenance Tips

• Vacuum gently: Use low power without a rotating brush to protect the 65% wool / 35% jute weave and preserve the rhombus texture.
• Regular care: Vacuum only when needed to prevent fiber stress and keep the natural surface structure intact.
• Spot cleaning: Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth—never rub, as this can push stains deeper into natural fibers.
• Mild cleaning only: Use a damp cloth with natural soap for stains, then dry with a soft cloth to avoid moisture damage.
• Avoid harsh chemicals: Do not use bleach, solvents, or abrasive cleaners as they can permanently damage wool and jute.
• Rotate regularly: Turn the rug every few months for even wear and to prevent uneven fading in high-traffic areas.
• Sunlight protection: Avoid direct sunlight to reduce color fading over time.
• Professional cleaning: Recommended for deep cleaning to maintain texture and extend lifespan.
