Danskina launched three new rugs in 2015, two by Jongerius \u2013 the company\u2019s design director \u2013 and a third by recent Design Academy Eindhoven graduate Daniel Costa.<\/p>\n

Jongerius\u2019 first new design is a hand-knotted rug called Argali, which features a braided fringe and silk embroidery. The rug gets its name from the rugged breed of Himalayan sheep, which provided the wool used to make it.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is made from the wool of a sheep high up in the mountains,\u201d Jongerius says. \u201cThis wool is so sturdy. You can use it in the contract market. It will last forever and it stays beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a><\/p>\n

Jongerius also designed a new tufted rug called Dew, which features an uneven surface of hand-cut piles.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cNormally when you do tufting you shave it and it has one surface,\u201d Jongerius explains. \u201cBut this is cut by hand so you have irregularity. It gives it a very nice shadow play.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a><\/p>\n

The third product in the new collection is a rug called Fringe by young designer Daniel Costa, whose work Jongerius spotted in 2013 at the Design Academy Eindhoven graduate show.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s made out of New Zealand wool, with very bulky fringes,\u201d Jongerius says. \u201cIt is very generous. We are really celebrating sheep like this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a><\/p>\n

Berlin-based Jongerius is widely recognised as one of the world\u2019s most influential female designers. This year she launched a manifesto calling for an end to \u201cpointless products, commercial hypes and empty rhetoric\u201d in design with theorist Louise Schouwenberg.<\/p>\n

In 2013 she worked with architect Rem Koolhaas to renovate the North Delegates\u2019 Lounge at the United Nations buildings in New York.<\/p>\n

When designing textiles, Jongerius says she always starts with the yarn.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn general as a designer I always start with the yarn and that\u2019s also what I do with Danskina,\u201d she explains. \u201cWe start by spinning yarns, trying to blend them in a special way with other yarns. Then we start to design the rug.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
