The Trace rug reflects what remains — a tactile memory map where geometric icons tell the story of Melvær and her ancestors. A surrounding leaf motif references the Tree of Life. For Melværs relatives, these symbols are easy to recognize. Yet the abstract nature of the design leaves space for others to interpret the piece in ways that resonate with their own lives.

Trace is part of the Echoes Rug Collection for Volver — a series of hand-tufted New Zealand wool rugs that explore memory and connection. The collection features three distinct designs, each available in three different color combinations. Through geometry, texture, and color, Echoes weaves together stories, places, and emotions to create personal landscapes of memory, legacy, and quiet reflection.
