Description
A rug that reveals itself slowly
The Bevi Wool Rug by Finarte is built through three distinct weave bindings. Each one adds to a quiet complexity that shows itself gradually. It is a rug that invites you to pause, look closely and experience the texture with bare hands and bare feet.
Three-dimensional long-pile sections rise across the surface, creating movement and depth that shift with the light and the angle you view it from.
Hand-knotted wool
Bevi is a hand-knotted rug made from high-quality wool. It is handmade in India by Finarte’s long-term weaving partners.
Designed by Ervin Latimer
Bevi was designed by Ervin Latimer, who trained as a fashion designer before working in textiles. In his work the boundary between clothing and textile art has always been fluid, and that shows in the way Bevi is built: a surface designed to be felt as much as seen.
A Nordic reading of West and southern African textiles
The pattern and its framing structure are a Nordic interpretation of traditional textiles and motifs from West Africa and the western regions of southern Africa. Latimer describes it as an attempt to create a new, contemporary expression of Afro-Finnish identity through textile art.
A rug or a wall hanging
Finarte designed Bevi to work equally well on the floor or on the wall. As a rug it anchors a living area, bedroom or dining space. Hung up, it becomes a large piece of textile art.
Bevi sizes
Bevi is made in brown in two sizes:
- 170 x 240 cm: suits a seating area or the space beside a bed
- 200 x 300 cm: a large rug for a living or dining space
Bevi or Tobevi?
Ervin Latimer also designed the Finarte Tobevi Wool Rug. Tobevi is hand-tufted and combines a textured loop-pile centre with a cut-pile border, in cobalt blue and forest green. Bevi is hand-knotted and relies on layered weave bindings and long-pile sections for its depth. Browse more designer rugs or the full Finarte collection.
