The Plastic Rivers Yangtze Runner by Álvaro Catalán de Ocón is more than a rug—it’s a statement on environmental impact. This hand-tufted runner captures an aerial view of the Yangtze River, one of the most polluted waterways in the world. Crafted from 100% recycled PET, it transforms plastic waste into a striking visual representation of nature’s vulnerability. The varying pile heights recreate the river’s topography, adding depth and texture. Part of the Plastic Rivers collection, this rug stands as both a piece of design and a call for awareness.
