BEAUTIFUL FLATWEAVE RUGS FROM MONN
MONN Flatweave rugs are the latest innovative offering from the Nouwens family . With five generations of expert carpet crafts-manship behind them , renowned carpet-maker Pieter Nouwens ’ sons are crafting a new generation of carpets and extending their product scope . To meet the demands of a dynamic market and embrace new and diverse design trends , they have debuted the MONN Rug Collection .
Meticulously converting existing Wilton looms to manufacture quality flatweave rugs , MONN is pioneering commercial flatweave production in South Africa . Their aim is to provide a quality underfoot experience , whether it ’ s indoors or out , all the while staying true to the MONN South African heritage . The rugs are 100 % manufactured and finished at the state-of-the-art mill in Harrismith and available directly through the MONN online store or from a select group of retailers . The local craftsmanship and production along with the opportunity to buy directly from MONN places these rugs in stark contrast to the outdoor flatweave rugs being imported and currently flooding the market .
The latest technology and fibre construction makes these outdoor rugs easy to care for and maintain . Simply hose the rug down with water or clean with mild chemicals and leave to dry completely . Manufactured from 100 % Polypropylene , a hard-wearing fibre with inherent stain resistant properties , with UV stabilisers and pigments imbedded into the molecular structure of the fibre , the rugs are particularly immune to the South African climate . These rugs also stand up excellently to heavy foot traffic . Once woven all rugs are finished with MONN Magic GripTM to ensure your rug not only looks its best on your floor , but also stays put , improving slip resistance .
This collection features a wide and refreshing range of patterns and designs from bold geometry to soft florals . Available in sizes ranging from 1.6 x 2.4m , 2 x 3m , 2,4 x 3,4m to 3 x 4m and runner sizes 0.8 x 2m to 0,8 x 3m . Custom sizes can be arranged by consultation . www . monn . co . za
