URBANARA, one of my favorite interiors and home textiles brands, has set-up shop in Berlin Mitte! The Pop-Up Store is open Monday-Saturday from now until mid-December, giving us Berliner’s the delightful chance to discover their products in person — wonderfully tactile home elements like rugs, bedding, blankets, and cushions.
Of course, URBANARA has an incredible universe of home textiles and interior accessories for you to discover online. But if you’re living in Berlin, I would definitely suggest paying a visit to their Mitte Pop-Up Store. Having a chance to browse through their products in person gives you a completely new perspective on the look and quality of everything they offer — from rugs to bedding.
I’ve been a long-time fan of URBANARA’s table and bedroom linens, but I’ve recently fallen in love with their carpet collection after seeing them in person at the Pop-Up Store. Currently, I have my eye on this swoon-worthy off-white Panchu Rug — the creamy wool-viskose blend is so incredibly soft, and I can’t get over the optics of the knobby looped texture (more photos below).
Shopping for rugs online can be a bit tricky since you can never truly get a full impression for the look and feel, so it’s nice to have a chance to see all the textures, fibers, and colors in person at the Pop-Up Store. But with that being said, I also doubt that you could ever go wrong ordering any rug from URBANARA online (in case you’re not in Berlin). I felt like a kid in a candy store during my visit, and had my hands on just about every beautiful rug sample there — I can confirm that all were wonderfully soft and with a great weighty quality.
URBANARA is also staunchly committed to ethical production, and takes great care to ensure that all of their rugs are woven without child-labor, exploitive pay, and dangerous working conditions. They work exclusively with weavers in India and Pakistan who meet the standards of Europe’s fair carpet trade initiative, Care & Fair. They also work with several other certifications (like Woolmark, GOTS, and OEKO Tex) to ensure that the quality of the materials their products are derived from meet the highest industry standards for safety, health, and quality.
If you’re not in the market for a carpet, there are lots of other really lovely URBANARA products to explore at the Pop-Up store — items like bedding, blankets, cushions, ceramics, candles and more. While I didn’t come home with a rug, I did end up finding a few new pieces to help cozy-up our flat for winter! I’ll show you all what I picked out soon in an upcoming post.
