Say hello to Bob — the original Pappelina pattern that started it all. With bold, broad stripes and clean Scandinavian lines, Bob is a timeless piece that brings substance and style to your space. In 2024, this iconic design was refreshed with new colours and a double-hemmed edge for an even more luxurious finish.
Crafted in Sweden from soft, durable plastic using traditional weaving techniques, Bob isn’t just beautiful — he’s practical too. His thicker composition delivers next-level comfort underfoot, while the non-absorbent, dust-repellent material makes him ideal for those with allergies. Whether you style him in your hallway, kitchen, bathroom or even outdoors, Bob is up to the task. Hygienic, easy-care and fully machine washable (though a quick vacuum or wipe usually does the trick), this is one smart stripe.

Great Material
Certified phthalate and toxic-free PVC material manufactured in Sweden, fully approved by REACH.
Easy to Clean
Hand or machine wash cold, at 30°C/85F then stretch in wet condition and allow to drip dry or just simply rinse with water or clean with a damp cloth. These rugs are also extremely easy to vacuum, mop or even to clean outside with a regular or high-pressure hose or in your washing machine. PVC is a colourfast material that will not fade when washing or cleaning the rugs even when using detergents.
UV Resistant
A Pappelina rug has an extremely high sun and UV resistance. These rugs have been tested for colour fastness according to the international standardisation ISO 105-A05, with the result of a 4 on a scale of 1 to 5, where 5 is the highest score.
Allergy Friendly
Non-absorbent hygienic rug that does not hold dust, making it ideal for people with allergies and asthma as well as environments where cleanliness is of great importance.
Long Lasting
When buying a Pappelina rug it will last a lifetime providing the recommended care instructions are followed. It is truly a long-lived product and design, not something you use and discard. We are proud and confident to offer a 3-year warranty on all Papellina rugs.
Water Resistant
A Pappelina rug is water-resistant and will dry within 60 minutes, which means it’s perfect for any room; kitchens, hallways, entrances, office spaces, bathrooms, kids’ rooms and outdoor spaces.
