product*obsession : bolon


while filipping through an interior design magazine, i found a beautiful photograph (above) that made me think about paper art + installation design, which i find very facinating. curious, i decided to investigate more into what this company was about and surprised to find out that it was a flooring company! i've always been a fan of flooring from flor to graphic rugs, but i had never heard of this type of product before... bolon, woven vinyl flooring.

after digging deeper into what this company was about, i was so delighted to find out about how they began and their beliefs towards the products produced.

"... located in the middle of the deep forests of ulricehamn, vastra gotaland, sweden... began in stockholm in 1949, when the grandfather... started to manufacture woven rag rugs using textile waste from the yarn factory and later on became plastic rugs..."

they have a beautifully designed catalog to enjoy while looking at their selection of woven vinyl flooring~ makes me think about other options for covering our cement floors....
