A soft, warm and full-bodied surface. A soft extension of the bed or seat on which to stretch out, curl up, play, relax, read and walk barefooted. The Pecan rugs stem from in-depth Simona Cremascoli research into tricot processing and are handmade using an exclusive technique. The wool yarn is completely wrapped around a jute core, which makes up the structure. In this way the rug has no distinct front or back but can be used on both sides with an even softer and more comfortable effect. Full-bodied and resistant, jute gives it strength and dynamism. The result is an elegant three-dimensional knit which, although super soft, is reminiscent of a floor strewn with walnut shells when you touch it.  Hence the name Pecan. The rug represents the perfect fabric backdrop for a welcoming and informal living room or a cosy and relaxing bedroom. Its refined colour variants include pale pink, mole grey and graphite. The surface of the Pecan rugs is refined on the two short sides with two 40-mm edges in a Panama weave that alternates a thread of the same colour as the rug with contrasting thread.  The composition of the usable surface area is 100% wool while the composition of the structure + usable surface area is 40% jute and 60% wool. It is 12 mm thick and weighs 2.3 kg/m2. Dimensions 200x300 cm and 300x400 cm. Made-to-measure dimensions also available on request with maximum length of 10 m, minimum width of 70 cm and maximum width of 300 cm. Pecan rugs are produced in Morocco with respect for our working conditions. The hand-sewn saddle-leather label is stamped with the Poltrona Frau brand.
