Ogeborg: Dot and Line – a collaboration with Note Design Studio
Ogeborg presents the carpets Dot and Line – an exclusive hand tufted carpet collection in collaboration with Note Design Studio. The carpet Line is designed with lines in a checkerboard pattern and the carpet Dot has an irregular pattern of fairly large and colourful dots. The carpets are expressive in their design, but at the same time they serve as a base for the furniture they are to frame. Due to the hand tufting in 100% wool with a mix of different yarn lengths and colors, Dot and Line give a bold yet clean expression.
