Description

The Plastic Rivers Niger Round Rug by Álvaro Catalán de Ocón turns environmental awareness into design. Hand-tufted from 100% recycled PET, this circular rug recreates an aerial view of the Niger River, one of the most polluted waterways in the world.

Part of the Plastic Rivers collection, this piece serves as both a striking floor covering and a reminder of the urgent need for sustainability.
