Seagrass Panama Rugs & Runners

Rooted in tradition, yet designed for modern living, Seagrass Panama is an effortlessly elegant floor covering with a tight, uniform basket weave that enhances both form and function. Crafted from 100% natural seagrass harvested in the coastal paddy fields of China, this design offers a tactile, earthy texture with a distinctive natural sheen — a hallmark of seagrass fibres.

Perfect for contemporary, coastal, or nature-inspired interiors, the Panama weave provides a denser, more structured appearance than looser weaves, making it ideal for high-traffic areas in need of visual balance and raw character.

Naturally Durable. Beautifully Woven. Authentically Grounded.

At Woven Bliss, we seek out timeless materials shaped by the environment and woven by artisans. Our Seagrass Panama carpet is just that: sustainably grown, carefully hand-spun, and precision-woven into a textural grid pattern that creates a sense of calm order in any space.

This material is more than a floor covering — it is a celebration of slow, intentional living. With its warm golden tone and natural resilience, seagrass flooring speaks to both sustainability and longevity.

What is Seagrass Panama?

Panama is a tight, symmetrical weave, visually reminiscent of a basket or grid. This weave style is prized for:

• Even structure with a consistent texture underfoot
• Elegant simplicity that adds visual rhythm to a space without overwhelming it
• Practicality for medium to high-traffic areas
• A tactile finish that is firm yet refined

The natural waxy coating of seagrass makes it moisture-resistant, making Panama an ideal choice for South African homes that balance family life, pets, and entertaining.

Where Does Our Seagrass Come From?

Woven Bliss sources seagrass grown in coastal rice paddies that are cyclically flooded with seawater. After harvest, the grass is sun-dried, twisted into rope-like strands, and woven into strong, beautiful mats by skilled weavers. Every piece of seagrass tells a story of nature and time — shaped by the tide, sun, and human hands.

Recommended Applications in the Home

Thanks to its durable weave and non-absorbent surface, Seagrass Panama is exceptionally versatile:

• Living rooms – adds grounded texture beneath sofas and accent furniture
• Dining areas – strong enough to withstand chairs and daily foot traffic
• Hallways and entrances – visually elevates transitional spaces while minimising echo
• Studies or libraries – enhances a focused, natural atmosphere
• Bedrooms – provides a fresh, tactile aesthetic beneath the bed or as a feature rug

Please note: due to its firm and occasionally slippery surface, seagrass is not recommended for staircases.

Design Insight

The subtle geometry of the Panama weave is ideal for layering within modern interiors. Pair this textural flooring with natural fibres such as linen, cotton, or mohair for a softened contrast. Neutral colour palettes and wooden accents work especially well to highlight the organic quality of the material.

To define an open-plan layout, Seagrass Panama can be customised into a bespoke rug to delineate a lounge or dining area, creating natural zones without disrupting visual flow.

Care & Maintenance – Care Guide

• Vacuum regularly using suction-only mode
• Blot spills immediately — avoid excessive moisture
• Keep away from consistently damp environments
• Use a natural fibre underlay to enhance comfort and protect your flooring
• Expect colour and texture variations — this is a natural material

Due to its smooth, sealed surface, seagrass naturally repels dust and allergens, making it an excellent choice for those sensitive to indoor air quality.

Natural Variations – A Signature of Authentic Craftsmanship

As with all natural-fibre floor coverings, expect colour variations, visible joins, and subtle irregularities in weave or texture. These are not flaws but rather expressions of seagrass’s organic nature and the artisan process involved in its creation.
