Description
This clever hand-woven Molteno Rug from Linie Design is colourful and creative, yet subtle and functional. The cream base of the rug is interwoven with colourful threads to create its subtly multi-coloured effect. Its Nordic maker, Linie Design, is committed to sustainable design and is part of the worldwide Care and Fair scheme to support its weavers. Similarly, every rug is crafted using environmentally friendly fibres.
Our Stylist Says
I love this rug for its versatile, neutral palette and subtle textured pattern, making it a perfect foundation for various interiors. It works particularly well in minimalist, Scandinavian, or even boho schemes where it can add warmth without overwhelming the space. Practical styling tips include layering it over a larger, plain floor covering for added depth or using it to define a seating area in open-plan rooms. Its muted tones enable it to blend seamlessly with both colour-rich and monochrome schemes, while its durable-looking weave makes it suitable for areas with high foot traffic. Overall, it’s a practical and stylish choice that can ground a room while maintaining a relaxed, inviting atmosphere.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
