For a sustainable future.
Handwoven rugs from OYYO, valuing process as much as outcome.
At "black&white," an interior shop known for its curated selection of contemporary lighting, furniture, and textiles from Japan and abroad. The shop's name originates from "light and darkness" born from illumination. Currently, a custom order fair for rugs by the Stockholm-based design duo "OYYO" is underway. We invite you to experience the beauty of natural colors, woven patterns, and tactile textures firsthand.

Handwoven Rugs: Discovering a Lifelong Treasure
"OYYO" was established in 2011 in Stockholm, Sweden, by Lina Zedig and Marcus Årén. With backgrounds spanning textile art, fashion, interior design, project management, publishing, and marketing, they consistently prioritize the question: "In what process are things made?"
In other words, they are creators who strive to convey not only the final product but also the process, including the production background and the stories behind its creation. "black&white," now in its sixth year of handling "OYYO" rugs, is currently hosting a custom order fair.
The venue features rugs in standard sizes as well as smaller sample sizes, allowing visitors to fully appreciate their charm. In addition to standard dimensions, custom sizes are also available, a welcome option. As these are handwoven, pieces not in stock will require time for delivery. However, the wait promises a rug that will bring lasting satisfaction.
Photographs alone cannot fully convey their allure. We encourage you to visit the store to experience their beautiful colors, patterns, and textures. With proper care, a rug meticulously handwoven piece by piece can become a lifelong companion.
