House of RYM was built on a love affair. Between ancient handcraft and contemporary design. A brand new design label has now seen the light of day. House of Rym is the result of cooperation between Swedish designers Anna Backlund and Elisabeth Dunker and Tunisian entrepreneurs Rym Tounsi and Zied Youssef.
It all began as late as in october 2011 when Anna got an email from someone in Tunisia, who praised her work for Mairo (swedish textiles) and wondered if she was interested in designing foutas (traditional hammam towels). A flattering proposal that made Anna equally intrigued but skeptical. – She immediately called Elisabeth to ask for advice, and as incredible it may sound, she had just received a similar email from the same person, says Anna. They decided to reply as a team and after that things happened fast. Now, less than six months later, a complete collection of home furnishings has been launched.Tthe collection is dominated by materials such as wool, porcelain, cotton and olive wood, but it also contains unique vintage cushions and ottomans re-deisgned from old hand-woven kilim rugs.
