The company was founded in 2000 by Mr Theo and Mrs Margo van Dooren. Arte Espina specialises in designing, manufacturing and selling a wide range of innovative rugs and mats to liven up living spaces. Again this year, the globally operating company of Margo and Theo van Dooren under the leadership of Managing Director Gerard van Hoeven is presenting its trendy, innovative and diverse collection. This years` leading theme “Tobago” brings colour to the room and is stunning because of its rich jungle flora. Beside beautiful newcomers and a huge amount of diverse techniques the Dutch company shows new and innovative textures.
The five ladies in the design team are taking their ideas from a well-established trend agency in Paris meanwhile the designers are carrying out continuous market research. Every single rug has been developed carefully with creativity and precision. Each client buys a stunning designer rug that fits his or her own, individual style and taste.
The leading theme “Tobago” reflects the colourful richness of the jungle. The rugs that belong to this group show modern designs of the new generation: floral motifs are combined with effective, graphical symbols in a fresh way. Some of the other collections include; “Action Art” with its stylish artworks, “Paint Box” with its attractive butterflies and flowers, “Lexis” with a passion for typography, “Feng Shui” with its detailed, graphical patterns are reminders of Japanese designing, “Greenland” with its green nature, “Hacienda” with its modern, simple and geometric Kelim patterns, “Funky” that shows a magnificent peacock butterfly, as well as collections for kids called “Sheep and Bear – Kids Shapes”, “Ice Bear and Penguin – Kids Shapes”, “Kids Tape Measure”, “Apple and Pear” and “Kids Cupcakes”. Arte Espina children’s rugs are certified with the Oeko-Tex seal and free of harmful substances.
Arte Espina demands high quality standards. All acrylic rugs in the collection are carefully hand-made under very good social working conditions. The additional use of the contour cut gives the patterns a special plasticity. The fast-spun acrylic thread “Espirelle” is extremely robust and makes the product pleasantly soft to the touch.
New rugs are prone to producing fluff. This is completely normal and only lasts a short period of time. Regular vacuuming restores rugs to their original state. Thanks to the high quality of the “Espirelle” yarn, most stains will come off easily with water. In general, all Arte Espina rugs can be washed at 30°C at a rug cleaning facility.
