The first piece in Hellgren's collaboration with Swedish brand Asplund, the Wedge Rug captures interest with its compelling abstract pattern. Aligning with Hellgren's recurring geometric imagery and inspired by the floor exhibited at TENT London in 2017, the Wedge Rug features numerous triangles, with spontaneous variations throughout. Crafted from hand-tufted 100% Tencel textile, the subtle twist of patterns are accentuated by the lyocell fibre, giving the appearance of different shades after some usage.
