Kvadrat’s first collection of outdoor rugs is designed by Margrethe Odgaard. Inspired by natural surfaces, the rugs in this collection create a connection between nature and architecture, using a combination of textile techniques to shape an outdoor space that feels grounded and harmonious with its surroundings.
Comprising four designs hand-crafted from polypropylene ropes, Miori, Mioro, Sia and Sio share one colour scheme. The seven colourways include four neutral tones — limestone, warm clay, volcanic soil, and black soil — and three more vibrant shades similarly inspired by landscapes — red earth, river pebbles, and blue clay.
For a vivid colour effect, the polypropylene ropes are braided from a range of 4 different colours. The combination of multicoloured braided ropes also creates a distinctive and refreshingly irregular surface texture, reflecting the high level of craftsmanship.
Margrethe Odgaard: “While working on this outdoor rug collection for Kvadrat, it was interesting to observe where nature and architecture meet. The designs have been informed by the textures, colours and shapes found in nature so that when you put the rug out, it defines the foundation of your outdoor living room.”
The rugs are designed to perform in a wide variety of outdoor placements and offer high resistance to humidity, sunlight, mildew, and ocean or pool water. Constructed from man-made fibres the rugs are water-repellent, tearresistant and fast-drying.
These stable and maintenance-friendly properties make the rugs equally suitable for use in interior environments. The polypropylene is solutiondyed, reducing water, dye, and energy consumption in production, requiring no additional performance chemicals and ensuring colour fastness.
The Sio Outdoor rug features multicoloured braided ropes, stitched together to create a flat, smooth surface with a natural, lively colour effect. The stitching forms a shaded stripe pattern, while an open detail gently softens the structure. Designer Margrethe Odgaard referenced the simple, delicate details of the sisal rugs she remembers from her upbringing and incorporated a subtle ripple element reminiscent of the surfaces found in nature.
The name Sio comes from the Japanese word meaning ‘sea tide’ and refers to this wavy open detail in the design. Lightweight and durable, Sio Outdoor is perfect for medium to heavy residential use and moderate to medium commercial use in indoor or outdoor environments. Sio Outdoor is available in round, oval, and odd shapes.
