These Transportador rugs are a fun way to put some geometry into your décor. The playful [floor coverings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-newstalgia) are marked along the circumference, just like a protractor.

Spanish designer Jose Gandia created the minimalist Transportador rugs for Gandia Blaso. The graphic carpets are made of [wool with a cotton backing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terrain-collection). Each of the designs is available in black with white lettering or white with black lettering, as well as in two sizes and [round or half-round styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rondin).
