Rug to remember - Brief Article

Sunset,  July, 2000  by Daniel P. Gregory

* Paper is the key ingredient in this striking area rug. Tightly woven long-staple cellulose fibers--also used in brown paper bags--form a pattern reminiscent of caning or basketry, or Japanese tatamis that have been somewhat thickened. The latex-backed rug is very durable and has a soft, waxy texture that makes it ideal for bedrooms.

A spray finish is available to help with stain resistance. This design is Niagara, one of several paper rugs in the Adirondack Collection by Merida Meridian (800/345-2200). It costs $250 for 4 by 6 feet, $500 for 6 by 9 feet; prices vary for other designs and bindings.
