Reduce. Reuse. RugCycled® They did it again! RugCycled® by Lorena Canals is the world’s first upcycled washable rug collection. This revolutionary concept gives a second life to cotton waste and turns them into timeless designs. The RugCycled® Collection comes as a collection of washable rugs and textile accessories for kids’ decor. With RugCycled®, Lorena Canals is able to achieve their goal of zero waste production. The dye-free collection also saves up to 90% in water and energy in their manufacturing process.
RugCycled® brings back some of Lorena Canals’ most iconic designs with a renovated raw style provided by the all-natural finish of undyed cotton combined with recycled yarn. To make this collection, leftover production fabric is shredded into fibers and then spun into recycled yarn that is used to make the rugs’ canvas bases. The designs are then tufted on top of the canvas in natural, undyed cotton, creating a soft and plush surface. Each rug design is outlined by revealing bare areas of the canvas and creating a debossed effect.
All Lorena Canals rugs are designed to be easily washed at home in a conventional washing machine. They are handmade one by one by artisans who take care of every detail, with 100% natural fibers and non-toxic dyes. All Lorena Canals rugs including this Lorena Canals Clouds RugCycled Area Rug from the Collection is designed with a commitment to the environment. These rugs are eco-friendly, kid-friendly and suitable for any home. And because cotton is a natural material, it offers a soft and comfortable padding for kids and pets of all ages.

About the Brand
It started with one simple question that perhaps a lot of us parents have: ‘Why can’t we wash our kids’ rugs at home? That was enough to set Lorena Canals on a journey to come up with a solution. Lorena Canals started her company to fill the void of modern day living. Her rug designs are stylish and practical. Made from 100% cotton, her rug collection is machine-washable and is the new standard in the world of rug design.
28 years later, Lorena Canals now operates out of offices in Barcelona and New York. Their rugs are manufactured in two of their very own facilities in India where they have full control of the quality and best practices. Their designers work side by side with 120 artisans who take care of every detail in an elaborate handmade process. The brand prides itself on quality in every aspect of production, from the finest raw materials to socially responsible labour practices. Nowadays, Lorena Canals products are found worldwide in more than 2,500 points of sale, making its products available in more than 40 countries.
