Designed by Francesc Rifé, the Aral collection brings his language of order, calm, and texture into the outdoors. Each rug is an exploration of natural landscapes—the sea, the sand, the forest—with soft palettes woven into linear patterns full of depth and serenity.
Made from recycled PET derived from plastic bottles, Aral rugs combine sustainable design with everyday durability. Their flat weave and UV treatment make them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, softening the ground with a warm, structured layer. A collection that embraces nature without sacrificing comfort.

Care
Main recommendations:
- Vacuuming the rugs is one of the main methods to keep them in good condition and essential for reducing the presence and accumulation of loose dirt/dust particles. Do not use a vacuum with rotating brushes on looped structures.
- For cleaning specific stains, never rub the surface to remove a stain or spilled substance, as this can deform the surface irreversibly. It is also not recommended to exert excessive pressure as this can mat down the rug.

Aral, the first collaboration between Rols and his studio, brings that vision into the textile world through a collection of outdoor rugs where repetition not only brings structure but also creates warmth and comfort in open spaces.
