Pappelina's story


Since the creation of Pappelina in 1999 by Lina Rickardsson, the brand has focused on creating a global collection of plastic rugs. During these 20 years, Pappelina updated her process by focusing on the human touch. The brand has developed new colors and designs and raised the Swedish plastic carpet to its highest level. Each Pappelina rug is made in Sweden with passion, tradition, craftsmanship and love!


After a few years in the United States, Lina Rickardsson returned to Sweden, her native country, and discovered an old school which had become the seat of an association of weavers. Passionate about weaving since her childhood, it is without any hesitation that the designer embarked on the loom at the age of 24. After taking courses in painting and weaving, Lina Rickardsson began making rugs for her pleasure, but the latter quickly became a full-fledged professional activity, with orders coming from the largest dealers in the region. The Norrgavel store, with stores in Stockholm, Malmö and Gothenburg, ordered 24! It was then the start of a great adventure.


Quickly overwhelmed by orders, Lina Rickardsson began looking for a weaving factory and found a small family business in Dalarna that had been weaving for more than fifty years. She surrounds herself with three collaborators to make her rugs and make her passion her job.


Around the same time, Lina accidentally discovered colorful plastic ribbons that had been used to make rugs in the 1970s. Immediately inspired, she began designing a whole new range of unique plastic rugs. Using a new and testing weaving technique and twice as much material as usual, she creates a rug that becomes the first of its kind on the market.


Her collaborators being very hesitant about this new manufacturing technique, Lina proves to them that this idea was worth it by presenting her creations at the Formex fair in Stockholm in January 2000, where she sells 124 plastic rugs and 12 linen rugs. A year and a half later, at the Formex fair in August 2001, Lina presented the BOB rug, a square rug with striped patterns with a soft and generous appearance, the latter was awarded the Formex Formidabel 2001 in the category of best textile.


Today, Pappelina weaves 100,000 carpets each year, employs around 40 people in Dalarna and markets the brand in 26 countries. BOB and VERA rugs remain bestsellers and are often portrayed as Scandinavian design classics. Lina continues to develop new patterns and techniques. The product range may expand, but the very essence of Pappelina remains the same: simple, elegant and functional.
