Overview
Timeless in texture and natural in grounding, the Seagrass Runner brings warmth, structure and understated elegance to everyday living.
Celebrated for their durability and natural resilience, seagrass is a practical choice for high-traffic areas, hallways, kitchens and busy family homes. The weave is firm, textural and naturally hardwearing, making it especially well suited to spaces where furniture, chairs and daily movement are part of the room’s rhythm.
Each runner is made by hand from individual 30cm x 30cm seagrass squares, which are joined together to create the final size. This construction gives the rugs their distinctive grid-like texture and also means custom sizing must work in 30cm increments.

Durability
Seagrass is a strong, structured natural fibre and is well suited to everyday use. These runners work beautifully in entries, hallways, kitchens and other high-use areas where a more delicate rug may not be practical.
As with all handmade natural-fibre pieces, some movement, tonal variation and settling should be expected over time. This is part of the character of the material and the handwoven construction.

Custom Sizes
Custom runners are made to order with lead times of around 10 weeks.
Because each rug is made from 30cm x 30cm squares, custom sizing must be configured in 30cm increments. This means we may suggest the closest available size slightly above or below your requested measurements.

Underlay
A non-slip underlay is not always essential, particularly for larger seagrass rugs placed under heavy furniture.
That said, an underlay can still be useful depending on your floor surface. It may help protect the floor underneath, reduce subtle movement and help the rug sit more comfortably over time. A breathable underlay can also assist with airflow, especially in humid environments.
If your floor is very smooth, polished, delicate or prone to marking, we recommend using a breathable rug underlay suitable for your specific flooring type.
