Shadows Collection

A collection of rugs inspired by the sophisticated interplay of light and shadow created by natural elements such as plants and flowers. Each design is the result of a combination of colour shades that accentuate the realism of every composition and create a three-dimensional effect, lending a distinctive depth to each design.

Natural Collection

The goal of the design is to translate the subtle tones and atmospheres of Finnish nature into textile form, and to combine them with Habit’s refined craftsmanship. The result is a series of rugs that offer both aesthetic depth and tactile quality – made to complement interior spaces with a sense of calm and connection. This concept is presented as a starting point for dialogue – to explore the opportunities and challenges involved in bringing these ideas into reality.
