Bjork Runner

The Bjork rug is based on a weft in wool, combined with details in leather. The expression in the woven structure is inspired by the black and white trunk of the birch tree (‘Bjork’ in Swedish) and the leather represents the inside of the bark.

“The birch, a tree that can be found all over Sweden, is my inspiration for the Bjrk collection” says designer Lena Bergstrom. “The textile forms a beautiful surface in the home, as natural as stone or wood. To me, Bjork is like poetry, like a quiet whisper in the room.”

The marbled effect in the color of Bjork is created through intertwining different colored wool yarns in the weft. Wool is known not only for its softness but also for its built-in resistance to soiling thanks to its natural oils. Bjork is woven by hand and as such is a piece of craft therefore the appearance can differ from product to product. The whiteness of the wool yarns can also differ depending on what time of year the sheep are sheared.
