Designed by Karin An Rijlaarsdam, the rug is inspired by braiding techniques, crafts and the landscapes of Grand-Bassam, Ivory Coast where she is based. It is the first design in the Kvadrat rug collection. Braid is made from braided ropes – one thick, one thin. The slimmer rope is stitched in a slightly wavy curve on the thick ropes which gives a beautiful irregularity to the design, then arranged as a spiral for the round rugs, or in rows for the rectangular design, before being stitched into place. To finish, a fine rope is sewn around the rug and the border is refined with a 10 cm wrapping detail on the lower right edge or corner. The making of Braid results in minimal production waste thanks to its stitching technique. Strong and durable, it is a design that suits both residential and commercial use. ![](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/F_20120_C0781_W24_1-LOW_SRGB_JPEG_2021-11-29-213205_casf.jpg)![](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/F_20120_C0351_W24_1-LOW_SRGB_JPEG_2021-11-29-213156_fnuk.jpg)![](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/F_20120_C0961_W24_1-LOW_SRGB_JPEG_2021-11-29-213210_tdfc.jpg)![](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/F_20120_C0111_W24_1-LOW_SRGB_JPEG_2021-11-29-213138_htwy.jpg) ![](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/O_20120_C0961_W30-LOW_SRGB_JPEG.jpg)![](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/F_20120_C0471_W24_1-LOW_SRGB_JPEG_2021-11-29-213201_fmij.jpg)![](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/F_20120_C0191_W24_1-LOW_SRGB_JPEG_2021-11-29-213148_zicz.jpg)![](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/F_20120_C0231_W24_1-LOW_SRGB_JPEG_2021-11-29-213152_kiyd.jpg) - Request a quote - [Manufacturer's Product-Info](https://www.kvadrat.dk/en/products/rugs/20120-braid) - [Manufacturer's website](http://www.kvadrat.dk) - [All products by Kvadrat @ Stylepark](https://www.stylepark.com/en/products/manufacturer/kvadrat) - [Kvadrat @ Stylepark](https://www.stylepark.com/en/manufacturer/kvadrat) Kvadrat Related Articles [DESIGN Shading with Added Benefits 1/16/2024 With its High Performance Textiles, Kvadrat is introducing a new product category: Metallised roller blind textiles that insulate and cool, provide shade and are see-through.](https://www.stylepark.com/en/news/kavadrat-high-performance-textiles-metallised-fabrics-blinds-stylepark-magazine) [AWARD NOMINATION Kvadrat 2023: SPORT 11/21/2023 The new upholstery fabric by Patricia Urquiola for Kvadrat is made from polyester and offers a special look and feel.](https://www.stylepark.com/en/news/kvadrat-2023-sport-patricia-urquiola-textile-tide-styleparkmagazine) [FEATURED Working with a View 5/3/2021 Taking their inspiration from “rough meets warm”, roller-blind solutions by Kvadrat Shade and textiles by Kvadrat ensure a pleasant atmosphere in the Fellow Workspace in Aarhus.](https://www.stylepark.com/en/news/kvadrat-shade-blinds-companyons-fellow-workspace-aarhus) [FEATURED The extra at the window 4/13/2021 With its first collection, Kvadrat Shade presents a system for high-quality roller blind solutions that can add visual, acoustic and thermal value to any room.](https://www.stylepark.com/en/news/kvadrat-shade-bouroullec) [INTERVIEWS Three questions to: Patricia Urquiola 12/1/2020 Patricia Urquiola has designed three new textiles for Kvadrat: The faux-uni upholstery fabrics "Relate" and "Reflect" and the curtain fabric "Lumo" in woven twill, which offers a particularly dense quality.
