RØROS TWEED produces and sells quality rugs, which are resold in exclusive interior design shops in Norway and abroad.

The pattern repeat for Boomerang has been devised so that it can work just the same on both sides of the rug, with a positive and negative side, making the rug "two in one". The rug comes in a handy bag with a carrying handle.

Jury`s verdict

This is a hard-wearing, user-friendly product, which surprises with its distinctive design. The choice of motif and pattern is bold and seems innovative compared with existing products from the Røros Tweed collection and in the rug market in general. In this instance, the company has managed to create an excitingly sophisticated and trendy rug with a 3D effect.

The rug has an elegant appearance, in an exciting range of colours. The design work is clever and distinctive, in terms of colour, motif and positive/negative front/back. The is well suited to stylish modern interiors and will appeal to loyal customers and new target groups.
