Re-vive rugs
RENS x Tarkett


Extending the life span of out-of-date carpets and rugs: in close collaboration with Tarkett, RENS’ applied a manual dyeing method with red pigments, transforming past collections into new works of art with unique shades of colours.

‘RENS showed working with enthusiastic designers can be highly valuable. Their independent approach to a design issue led to surprising results. Using obsolete carpets for new, fresh designs gives our artisan products new aesthetic power — and tells a truly valuable story.
‘— Bernd van der Stouw, Manager Design & Development, Tarkett
