Designer duo RENS present with Tarkett, the global carpets company, a collection of rugs named ‘RE-VIVE’. 

In this special collaboration between Tarkett and RENS, the two designers work on the creative process transforming each individual rug into a work of art, extending the product’s life.  

By using a manual dyeing process on the out-of-date collections, the carpets are 
re-coloured with red dye. The colour red makes a bold statement signaling to people that textile materials should not be wasted.

The interacting yarns and red dye produces new and unique colour shades every time, giving each rug its own identity and renewed creative life.

The heavy texture helps to transform the acoustic signature of any environment, whether they're hung on a wall or spread on a floor.
