LAYERED presents the Cord Collection, a collaboration with the Stockholm-based furniture producer Massproductions. The collection consists of four handwoven wool rugs that explore the fundamental logic of weaving at the intersection of industrial rigor and handcrafted texture.

For Massproductions, the approach to textile design mirrors that of their furniture: working with the logic of manufacturing rather than against it. Instead of applying a pattern onto the surface, Massproductions integrated the collection’s signature stripes directly into the warp, the vertical threads that form the rug’s structure. The result is an unbroken, longitudinal rhythm that gives the rug architectural clarity.

Throughout development, Massproductions applied their three-dimensional design expertise to the world of textiles. By using a slightly coarser yarn for the stripes, a subtle textural contrast is created, adding depth to the surface. As a result, the stripes are not only perceived visually but can also be experienced through touch.

The color palette is built on the contrast between the natural tones of the base and the accent stripe. By utilizing subtle shifts in the rug’s background, a sense of depth is achieved, preventing the surface from appearing static. The result is a rustic elegance where the material and its inherent structure remain present in the final product.
