Incubo

About this material

PRODUCTION ON DEMAND
Ruckstuhl, known for its top quality carpets only made of self-renewing natural fibres, takes its environment friendliness a step further and has made this floor covering out of both recycled and unusual materials.

Incubo roughly consists of 50% recycled wool from blankets used by the Swiss army. The other 50% is rubber, coming from used bicycle inner tubes, coming from bicycle shops between Chur and Bern, Switzerland. Although these materials make Incubo look quite rough and coarse, it feels very comfortable under your feet. Thickness of the carpet is 25mm, maximum dimensions are 290x500cm.
