Step onto the Finn in bare feet and you'll notice the dry, firm surface straight away. The light brown colour sits quietly next to oak, rattan and linen, so it rarely fights with what you already own.

Flat weave and a circular shape

Finn has no pile to speak of. The weave is flat, which means crumbs and stray hairs come off easily and chairs can be pulled in and out without catching. This round jute rug softens the straight lines of a table or sofa and gives a reading corner a clear centre. Because it's round, there are no corners to stick up, and you can give it a quarter turn now and then. It also works as a circle rug under a round table, which makes the Finn a natural pick among dining room rugs. The oval version in the same light brown is there if your table is longer.

Finn's jute, handwoven in India

Both the surface and the backing are jute, and the whole piece is handwoven in India. Jute comes from the stalks of a plant grown mostly in India and Bangladesh, and it feels firmer and coarser underfoot than wool. That gives the Finn its dry, natural look. It suits a lounge or a dining area, and it's fine over underfloor heating. That dry, natural look is something the Finn shares with jaloom's Jute Rugs. Measure your table first, then use our size guide to settle on the diameter of your round Finn.

Keeping the round Finn dry

Jute and damp rooms don't mix, so the bathroom is the wrong place for it. Underneath, a thin anti-slip pad stops it sliding. Wipe up spills at once with kitchen roll and skip steam completely, as our cleaning advice for jute explains. For everyday upkeep, vacuum on a low setting with the brush switched off.
