Bamboo and Cotton Shag by Anji Mountain Rug Company

5 by Doug Gunzelmann on July 19, 2008

bamboo shag

I remember rolling around as a kid on shag carpet (hideous shades of orange) most likely made from some obscene synthetic polymer. Anji Mountain Rug Company  has luxuriantly soft deep pile bamboo and organic shag rugs that will smother you in a wave of nostalgia (natural nostalgia). Each renewable bamboo/cotton strand is about 1.5 inches long (I think that is sufficient for shag angels) and backed with organic cotton canvas. "Bamboo fiber is naturally antimicrobial, hypoallergenic and odor resistant." Anji Mountain Company is the first to produce such a product and with great success as finalist in the 2008 Housewares Design Awards held in Times Square. The Bamboo Shag area rug at 5'x8' would be perfect for back to college or the new apartment and is available in five solid colors (no putrid green!?!).

About the Author:

Doug is in perpetual motion and a self-proclaimed adventure junkie, that has had a longtime love affair with the great outdoors.

“I love being a part of the active world. The stuff that blows my hair back is adventure (all shapes and sizes), photography, mountaineering, Muay Thai, and seeing natural beauty in all its forms. The living earth is the framework on which I build my life and free time. My ideal trip would be BASE jumping at Sotano de Las Golandrinas in Mexico (closest I could come to skydiving through the jungle!). I work towards keeping it real, green, and healthy. ”

Doug is the co-founder of LiveOAK, although he says he didn’t know what a blog was until a couple months after he started.

    I think its beautiful, my only question is how easy is it to maintain. I have a house full of kids and I’m not sure it would be suitable, I only wish the kids were grown up and had left school

    Whoa! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a completely different topic but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Outstanding choice of colors!

    [...] The latest and most interesting entry is carpeting made from bamboo and cotton fibers.  It comes in a shag version which brings back memories from my childhood…. However it is made from renewable sources and comes in a limited selection of colors. From Green Upgrader: (http://greenupgrader.com/2501/bamboo-and-cotton-shag-by-anji-mountain-rug-company/) [...]
