Pappelina Home

Welcome to the world of Pappelina, where design innovation meets the beauty of Swedish craftsmanship. It all began in 1999 when Lina Rickardsson, the visionary founder and designer of Pappelina, searched for a weaving mill capable of bringing her hand-woven linen rugs to life. In the heart of Sweden, a small mill answered her call, though with an unexpected twist - they wove with plastic, not linen. Lina’s creative mind immediately began to envision a new direction, one that ventured beyond traditional rug materials. What started with classic stripes soon evolved into more graphical patterns and jacquard looms. Challenging the conventions of Scandinavian rug-making, Pappelina introduced a novel concept, both in terms of materials and techniques. With that, a versatile and innovative product was born - the original plastic rug, crafted with love and pride in Sweden. From these humble beginnings, Pappelina’s story took off, eventually spreading its influence on over 45 countries.
