FINARTE: Finnish Design Rugs with a Distinctive Character

FINARTE is a Finnish family-run design house specialising in rugs that bring together contemporary design, traditional weaving techniques and expressive use of colour and texture. Established in 1985, the brand has developed a distinctive approach to home textiles, collaborating with designers and skilled weaving partners in India to create pieces that are designed to be both functional and visually engaging.

The FINARTE Design Philosophy

FINARTE brings Finnish design sensibilities into dialogue with textile traditions and the skills of its weaving partners. Rather than treating a rug as a purely practical floor covering, its designs explore how construction, pattern, colour and surface texture can shape the atmosphere of an interior.

This approach is particularly apparent in the Bevi, Kajo and Tobevi rugs, where tactile surfaces and distinctive visual details give each design its own identity. The result is a collection suited to interiors that value individual character as much as everyday function.

FINARTE Wool Rugs

Wool is the principal material in the FINARTE rugs available at RB12. Naturally tactile and well suited to home interiors, wool provides a versatile foundation for designs that range from understated texture to more expressive, sculptural surfaces.

Materials and Traditional Weaving

FINARTE's wider collection includes natural fibres such as wool and cotton, alongside other materials used across its different rug designs. The manufacturer describes a longstanding approach that combines contemporary Finnish design with traditional weaving expertise, working with Indian artisans to produce its textiles.

For the products available at RB12, the key distinction is between the wool construction of Bevi, Kajo and Tobevi and the cotton construction of the Pino cushion. Material affects the appearance, feel and care requirements of a textile, so review the individual product information before choosing a piece for a particular room.

How to Style FINARTE Rugs at Home

A well-chosen rug can help define a seating area, introduce colour to a neutral room and create a more layered interior. When selecting a FINARTE rug, consider the dimensions of the room, the placement of your furniture and the amount of pattern or texture already present.

In a living room, measure the intended area before selecting a size, and consider how the rug will relate to the sofa and armchairs. In a bedroom, think about the position of the bed and how much rug you would like to see around it. More expressive designs such as Bevi and Kajo can become a focal point, while the Pino cushion offers a simple way to repeat or complement a colour elsewhere in the room.

Choosing and Caring for a FINARTE Wool Rug

Before purchasing a wool rug, check its dimensions against your furniture layout and intended use. Consider how the rug's texture and colour will look alongside the room's flooring, natural light and existing furnishings. A rug underlay may also help keep the piece in position, depending on the floor surface and product requirements.

FINARTE recommends regular vacuuming and prompt spot cleaning for its wool rugs, with professional dry cleaning recommended for the Bevi and Kajo designs. Always follow the care guidance supplied with the specific product and check the manufacturer's recommendations before using cleaning products.
