”Natural details” refers to the intrinsic, inherent features and elements of the physical world, encompassing everything from tiny textures like moss on rocks to large phenomena like weather, including plants, animals, landscapes, and natural processes (e.g., erosion, fossilization) that exist without human creation, often highlighting beauty, rarity, or scientific interest in art, science, and general observation.
ESPLANADI & BULEVARDI PAPER YARN RUGS | design Minna Ahokas 2026 (4+4 colorways)
Esplanadi and Bulevardi are both a continuation and a subtle renewal of Woodnotes’ patterned classic paper yarn rugs, where the repetition of the full-surface design creates a balanced rhythm and highlights the timeless power of quiet simplicity. Esplanadi and Bulevardi differ from Woodnotes’ earlier patterned rugs through theirthree‑colour compositions – the previous designs have been two‑coloured – as well as through a stronger use of colour and a three-dimensional sense of depth created by the pattern. The skilful use of colour and the rhythmic structure of the design create an illusion of richness and add a sense of fullness to Woodnotes’ distinctive paper yarn material and established weave.
The names follow the city-inspired theme of our paper yarn rug collection. They are street names of our hometown Helsinki.
The rhythmic, grid-like patterns of Bulevardi and Esplanadi rugs are easy to associate with the tree-lined boulevards and residential streets framed by buildings from different architectural eras, as well as an interpretation of Helsinki’s cobblestone streets and the tram tracks that crisscross the city.
