Eye-Catching Designer Rugs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Drenthe Heath Rug by Claudy Jongstra is Unique and Pricy

— December 13, 2022 — Eco
Designer rugs can make striking aesthetic statements for any home interior and this proves to be true in the case of Claudy Jongstra's Drenthe Heath Rug. Retailing for a whooping sum of $72,000, the piece is truly a pure example of uniqueness and craftsmanship. The rug is offered to luxury-minded consumers as part of the Design Miami 2022 collection.

The designer rug is surely one of a kind. It was created with rare materials, "a radical soil-to-soil philosophy, no-waste approach," and through community collaboration. With a studio practice based in a rural northern province of The Netherland, Claudy Jongstra sources wool for her works from a local flock of rare, indigenous Drenthe Heath sheep. They are known to be "the oldest breed in Northern Europe."
