O Sole Mio Corteccia, by Italian contemporary rug company G.T.DESIGN, is an innovative outdoor rug realized with a technical and functional yarn. This rug design, conceived by G.T.DESIGN’s founder and art director Deanna Comellini, has been developed to resist wear and tear, fading in sunlight, damage by atmospheric agents and bacterial contamination.
This area rug is handmade, woven on traditional looms to secure the solidity, elasticity and optimal versatility of the product.
O Sole Mio Corteccia in the color brown is the perfect rug for a patio, the poolside and indoor areas such as bathrooms or wellness spaces. Its asymmetrical textural grooves in the weave resemble the naturally irregular bark of a tree.
