Warehouse Rug
Warehouse Rug is a hand-tufted rug production practice led by Milo McCafferty in Amsterdam. Each piece explores the relationship between design and environment, drawing inspiration from the organic forms, shapes and hues found in the natural world. Rooted in sustainability, Warehouse Rug transforms upcycled and recycled materials into tactile, functional artworks.
These rugs are more than objects: they are invitations to engage, connect and reinterpret spaces. Whether hung on a wall or placed on a floor, they collaborate with their surroundings to create warmth, spark dialogue and reimagine the interplay of texture and color in everyday environments.
