RUPS, Dutch for caterpillar, takes its name from the characteristic rounded ridges that define the rug's surface. The voluminous cut pile opens into soft, sculpted forms, each contour meticulously carved by hand. An irregular loop structure composed of two yarn tones adds depth and nuance, creating a subtle interplay of texture, light and shadow. Balancing artisanal craftsmanship with a contemporary design language, RUPS brings warmth, tactility and softness to interiors.

Manual tufting forms an efficient alternative to manual knotting. With the help of a handgun, the tufter shoots the yarn with a great deal of skill pile line by pile line until a carpet is formed. Due to its enormous flexibility, the technique allows for the production of true works of art.
Out of all the different wools, New Zealand wool is praised to be the whitest, allowing for a broader range of colour after dyeing.
