Carpets and rugs are like the unsung heroes of interior design. They have the power to elevate and complete any space, adding warmth and character.
Recently, we came across a Croatian brand on Instagram that immediately caught our attention: Likamee. Their rugs are not just any ordinary floor coverings; they are eco-friendly masterpieces that we can't resist having in our homes. Natural materials, gentle textures, and a palette of neutral shades that every minimalist home craves for. Should we say more?

But here is a twist, a fun one! Likamee rugs come in the shape of puzzle pieces. So not only are these carpets unique, but they also bring an element of fun, serving as true conversation starters.

Eco-Friendly and Unique Rugs

Behind this unique brand stands Ivana Ezel, who, alongside her parents, Nada and Ivo, creates rugs from 100% organic wool. Realizing that wool posed significant environmental challenges as shepherds struggled to dispose of it due to the lack of organized collection and processing, Ivana and her parents embarked on a mission to find a solution. They decided to repurpose some of the discarded wool and explore its potential. While Lika wool, as described by Ivana, may not be the softest, purest, or most fragrant, it possesses unique characteristics that make it truly remarkable and symbolize the distinctiveness of its originating region. Driven by their determination to salvage leftover wool from shearing and combat the pollution caused by its abandonment in nature, they came up with the brilliant concept of crafting rugs.

''We've started exploring with wool some 5 years ago, and it took us all this time to playfully learn about the beauty of the wool and how it can be used to create wonderful items for the home. All of our pieces are being made by hand and hand tools only, which makes them unique in shape and size, so there is no perfect shape for us, or in other words, all the shapes are perfect''. – stated Ivana on Likamee website.

Made of 100% Organic Wool From Lika Sheep

Likamee rugs are made from 100% organic wool, and each rug is unique since they employ manual tools and take an individual approach to each product. The process of creating wool rugs is time-consuming and involves washing, drying, and combing the wool as the initial steps. The rugs are made using the dry felting technique, making all their products eco-friendly and animal-friendly. Guided by Ivana and her family's passion for sustainability and craftsmanship, the brand offers a range of rugs that are not only visually appealing but also carry a deep commitment to preserving the environment and showcasing the unique qualities of Lika wool. From the popular puzzle-shaped rugs crafted from wool sourced from the indigenous Pramenka sheep breed to the intricately braided wool rugs to the ethically-conscious sheep-shaped rugs featuring a dry felted mat base instead of genuine leather, and finally, to the sleek and contemporary sheep rugs – rest assured, you'll discover the ideal addition for your home among Likamee's diverse collection.

You have the opportunity to browse and purchase their exquisite rugs directly from Likamee's official website. The price range for these exceptional pieces varies from 130€ to 1800€.
