Aelfie has made a name for itself with its vibrant patterns, but the design studio's new recycled rug collection shows that it's dedicated to more than just a good aesthetic. The hybrid indoor and outdoor series is made out of fibers generated from recycled plastic bottles, doing a small part to improve the environment while also providing a stylish addition to people's indoor and outdoor spaces.
Aelfie's designs for its recycled rug collection are bright and vibrant, consisting primarily of bold geometric shapes and primary colors. The patterns are reminiscent of Russian suprematism in that regard. However, many consumers will be more taken with the quality of the material itself rather than the designs that they're woven into.
The collection comes in several different sizes, from 2' by 3' all the way up to 10' by 12'.
