The Organic Dye Edition of the Valleys rug explores the possibilities of organic pigments for dying rugs and other materials. The project is a collaboration between Leolux, Studio Truly Truly and Tinctoria studio in Amsterdam.
After being folded as tightly as possible and tied firmly, the Valleys rug is soaked in the dye for a short amount of time, to let the purely organic pigments (like extra finely ground indigo/indigofera tinctoria) do their job.
After the rug is taken out of the dye, it is rinsed and then dried thoroughly. The result shows a unique, naturally flowing colour.
The Valleys Organic Dye Edition rug is on display in the Leolux Experience Center in Breukelen.
