Seagrass Panama Rugs & Runners

Natural Elegance Crafted from 100% Seagrass Fibre

Seagrass Panama is a refined, made-to-measure natural fibre rug or runner, woven from 100% seagrass and designed to bring grounded texture, durability, and understated coastal elegance into modern interiors. Crafted to your exact dimensions, it can be supplied as a bespoke rug or installed wall-to-wall, offering flexibility across residential spaces.

Defined by its tight, uniform Panama basket weave, this design delivers a structured, architectural appearance with a subtle natural sheen — a signature characteristic of authentic seagrass fibres. Its warm, golden tone creates a calm, organic foundation that works effortlessly across contemporary, coastal, and nature-inspired homes.

What Is Seagrass? A Naturally Resilient Coastal Fibre

Seagrass is a natural plant fibre cultivated in coastal paddy fields that are cyclically flooded with seawater. Once harvested, the grass is sun-dried, twisted into strands, and woven by skilled artisans into durable flooring materials.

Unlike many natural fibres, seagrass contains a natural waxy coating, which gives it unique performance benefits:

• Naturally moisture-resistant

• Anti-static and dust-repellent

• Hypoallergenic and resistant to allergens

• Exceptionally durable for medium to high-traffic areas

Its sealed surface makes seagrass particularly well suited to busy South African homes balancing family life, pets, and entertaining.

Panama Basket Weave – Structured, Refined & Timeless

The Panama weave is prized for its symmetry and consistency. Visually reminiscent of a basket or grid, it introduces order and rhythm without overpowering a space.

This weave offers:

• A firm, uniform texture underfoot

• A denser structure than looser natural weaves

• Subtle geometric interest that layers beautifully with modern interiors

• Excellent durability in frequently used spaces

The natural sheen of seagrass enhances the weave, catching light gently and adding depth to neutral flooring schemes.

Made to Measure for Contemporary Living

Seagrass Panama can be tailored to your space as either a custom-sized rug or wall-to-wall installation, allowing you to define zones within open-plan layouts or achieve a seamless, cohesive floor finish.

Bespoke sizing makes it ideal for:

• Lounge and living areas

• Dining rooms

• Hallways and entrances

• Studies and libraries

• Bedrooms

Design Insight – Calm Texture for Modern Interiors

The clean geometry of the Panama weave makes it a versatile base layer in contemporary spaces. It pairs beautifully with:

• Linen, cotton, wool, or mohair soft furnishings

• Timber, stone, and concrete flooring elements

• Neutral and coastal colour palettes

Used as a custom rug, Seagrass Panama can visually anchor seating or dining areas while maintaining an open, breathable aesthetic.

Care & Maintenance – Care Guide

Seagrass is naturally low-maintenance when cared for correctly.

Care instructions:

• Vacuum regularly using suction only (no rotating brush)

• Blot spills immediately — avoid excessive moisture

• Keep away from consistently damp environments

• Use a natural fibre underlay to enhance comfort and protect flooring

• Expect subtle colour and texture variation — this is natural

Thanks to its sealed surface, seagrass naturally repels dust and allergens, contributing to healthier indoor air quality.

Natural Variations – A Mark of Authentic Craftsmanship

Each Seagrass Panama installation or rug is unique. Variations in colour, weave tension, and natural markings are inherent to the fibre and the artisan weaving process. These characteristics are not imperfections, but rather a celebration of natural materials and handcrafted design.

A Conscious Choice for Sustainable Living

Seagrass is a rapidly renewable resource that requires minimal intervention to grow. Combined with artisan weaving and made-to-order production, Seagrass Panama represents a thoughtful, low-impact flooring choice that balances beauty, longevity, and environmental responsibility.
