RESPONSIBILITY
Every idea at LAYERED starts with natural fibers and crafting technique as the foundation. From there, our design language is shaped by our requirements for quality — a choice that shapes not only quality but responsibility. Guided by our internal Environmental Policy, we focus on design integrity, product durability, and ethical partnerships.
Our centerpieces are made by hand, in small batches to meet demand, and shipped by sea to our warehouse in Sweden. We collaborate with two regions specialized in different handcrafting techniques, renowned for their heritage craftsmanship.
Bhadohi, India: Known for its handmade rugs since the 1500s; hand-knotting, flat-weaving and tufting are separate disciplines, each determining a rug's surface, texture and durability.
Samarina, Greece: Chosen for our shaggy rugs and their specialized flokati technique and the finishing process that sets all apart. After knotting, each rug is bathed in ice-cold, rushing water in man-made waterfalls that recreate the natural force of a mountain stream.
GoodWeave™
As part of our commitment to social responsibility, all our rugs are GoodWeave Certified. This independent certification verifies fair working conditions and the absence of child labor throughout the weaving process.
LAYERED's design language is inspired by art and culture rather than trends – references that hold up longer than a season.
Each collection takes shape in the Stockholm studio, by the in-house design team together with founder and creative director Malin Glemme.
As art and culture are at the core of LAYERED, we are constantly exploring how that can be transformed into handcrafted textiles. By collaborating with artists and designers around the world we define a new perspective of what Scandinavian design can be.
