Rugs approx. 170 × 240 cm
The first size at which a rug can hold furniture. At these dimensions the front legs of a sofa and two armchairs will stand on the carpet, which is what ties a seating group together visually — and it does so in a normal apartment living room without leaving the floor covered wall to wall.
It also suits a bedroom laid across the lower two thirds of a double bed, and a study or home office where a desk chair needs room to move.
