Traditional rag rugs are an interior decorating detail that has been a part of Swedish homes since the end of the 1700s. As textiles were very exclusive and expensive, the owners only hang them on walls at festivities. It wasn’t until the 1900s that rugs found their way to the average Swedish home and were placed on the floor. It is still a time consuming, intricate and demanding work to create a handwoven rug of highest quality.

Vandra Rugs was founded in 2005 and originates room the classic textile company EMTE Textil. EMTE Textil has a close relationship with the well-known design house Svenskt Tenn. EMTE Textil was founded in the 1940s by Professor Edna Martin and Mrs Marit Thorén. With the help of a wide network of weavers from all around Sweden, they designed and produced textiles and hand-woven rugs. Mrs Barbro Thessing took over the company in the 1980s and developed the weaving studio and production.

Today we work with the entire chain, from dyeing the fabric strips to design and production. When it comes to finding original solutions and realizing ideas, the possibilities are almost endless.
