Marimekko Seireeni Pure Wool Rug 200x140cm

While travelling in Greece in the early 1960s, Maija Isola got inspired by the movement of water and depicted it in several fabric prints, including Seireeni (siren) from 1964. Named after the mythological sirens, the pattern also recalls the enchanting singing that lured sailors into dangerous waters.

This rug is tufted by hand, meaning that material is injected into the back of the rug with a tufting gun, holding the material firmly in place.

The Marimekko range of tufted and woven rugs translates some of Marimekko's most famous and iconic designs. These timeless rugs are offered in the best qualities in the vibrant colour palette of Marimekko and will add a touch of joyful living to any home.

About your new rug

• As this rug is made using natural fibres, shedding is to be expected. This will reduce over time, and should not have an impact on the lifespan or performance of your rug. When you first get your rug, please use the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner whilst the shedding dies down. After that, when vacuuming your rug, use suction only. Rotating brushes may damage the fibres.
• Blot any spills with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub or use harsh detergents.
• Attend to spillages immediately and blot with a clean, dry cloth to prevent staining. Dilute a small amount of appropriate carpet shampoo in water. Dampen a colourfast cloth in the diluted shampoo solution and dab the rug, lightly agitating, moving in the direction of the pile. Treat the whole rug and not just the affected area. To restore the appearance of the affected area, use a soft bristled brush to gently comb in the direction of the pile. Allow the rug to thoroughly dry.
