Shore

An innovative new type of floor covering.

Louie Rigano and Gil Muller developed Shore Rugs while on the Design Products MA programme at the Royal College of Art. Shore Rugs are a new type of floor covering: a versatile rug that is hand-woven from a custom-developed silicone sponge cord. The rugs distinguish themselves from other floor coverings in numerous ways; they are soft and extremely comfortable, easy to clean, durable, UV resistant, and waterproof, and thus perfectly suitable for use outdoors. 

Working directly with a silicone manufacturer, the cord has been custom developed to have a specific density and texture, perfected for its new application as a floor covering. Shore apply their knowledge of materials and processes to create products that feature a bold, new visual impact and are also innovative and forward thinking.
