Dezeen Showroom: recycled plastic is given a subtle and earthy aesthetic in the Saline outdoor rug collection, created by Made Studio for Spanish brand Gan.

Made Studio designed the Saline rugs to showcase the potential of recycled plastic in the hands of skilled traditional artisans and to create a product that would help add texture and warmth to outdoor spaces.

The rugs are made in India from 100 per cent recycled PET fibres that have been dyed, spun and braided into different styles of cord. These are used for both the rugs' warp and weft yarns, creating a depth of colour.

The material is naturally weather resistant and easy to maintain, and the design is meant to blend into outdoor spaces while still having a strong character.

"We can enter into a dialogue with nature by creating furnished spaces outside, even cosy ones," said Made Studio founders Laura Ros and Borja García. "And rugs are a fantastic way to delimit space, to create places and define zones."

The Saline collection is available in a choice of four neutral colours: black, white, terracotta or green. There are three sizes ranging from 170 by 240 centimetres to 300 by 400 centimetres.
