Hans Hosak designed this rug already in 1971, for the renowned company Svängsta Mattväveri. Ever since, for almost 50 years, the family has had a Zorbas lying by the sofa in their summer house in Blekinge (south of Sweden). The rug is up-to-date as ever, with its subtle colouration where certain colours not are what they look like, at a first sight. Zorbas is a sustainably handwoven pile rug, with 60 mm high pile, in twisted high quality wool from New Zeeland.
