Manila

Ruckstuhl Work Design 1967

Since 1967, MANILA has stood for a sophisticated carpet culture and timeless materiality. Made from sisal fibre in a classic, durable rib weave, Manila is one of those products that asserts itself not through change, but through consistency. Some qualities gain strength precisely by remaining true to their original nature.

Its precise, linear structure gives Manila a calm, subtle and prestigious character. Especially across large areas, it creates the elegance that high-quality architecture demands — understated, cultivated and enduring.

A high weight per square metre ensures exceptional robustness, dimensional stability and longevity. This makes MANILA suitable for both sophisticated residential interiors and prestigious commercial settings such as hotels, boutiques, executive offices or law firms. Manila is particularly frequently used in representative buildings — both as wall-to-wall carpet and as a stair runner, where its precise rib structure, durability and subtle appearance have been valued for decades.

MANILA has been copied many times. The original, however, endures.

origin: Tanzania and Kenya

Sisal belongs to the so-called hard fibers. Only a small portion of fibers is extracted from each leaf—a labor-intensive process that is still largely done by hand today. The Maya and Aztecs already used sisal for durable fabrics and ropes. To this day, the fiber is known for its exceptional durability, precise structure, and subtle play of light. Ruckstuhl processes selected sisal qualities from Tanzania, Madagascar, and Kenya. The yarn is spun and dyed in Europe.

Naturally antistatic, resilient, and long-lasting, the material possesses that rare combination of technical robustness and quiet elegance. The same fiber has been used for decades in ropes, geotextiles, or traditional dartboards—anywhere durability and resilience are required. Over the years, sisal develops the patina that only honest materials produce: lively, authentic, and beautiful in use.

Benefits:

  • Sisal is a natural and renewable raw material.
  • Sisal balances the indoor climate as it can absorb up to 420 grams of moisture per m2 (20% of its own weight).
  • Sisal has a cooling effect in summer, a warming effect in winter, and is therefore ideally suited for all seasons.
  • Sisal is resistant to abrasion.
  • Sisal is electrostatically neutral.

Facts:

  • The sisal agave lives for about 7 to 10 years and produces around 200 to 250 usable leaves during this time.
  • Only about 4% of a single leaf consists of actual fiber — the rest is mainly water and plant material.
  • A sisal plant thrives in regions with temperatures above 25 °C and is considered exceptionally drought-resistant.
  • Sisal accounts for about 2% of global plant fiber production.
  • Worldwide production was around 210,000 tons of sisal fiber in 2020. The main producers are Brazil, Tanzania, Kenya, and Madagascar.
  • Sisal fibers have an exceptionally high tensile strength. Depending on quality, they can reach values of up to 242 MPa, making them some of the strongest natural plant fibers.
  • Due to their resistance to tension, abrasion, and saltwater, sisal fibers were used for decades in ship ropes, agricultural twine, and industrial applications.
  • Traditional dartboards are still made from sisal fibers today because the surface closes up again after the darts are pulled out.
  • Maya and Aztec cultures already used agave fibers for fabrics, sandals, ropes, and everyday objects — long before sisal became a globally traded material in the 19th century.

Workshop designs emerge where material knowledge meets spatial thinking. They express a design culture shaped not primarily by a single author, but by the collective knowledge of our workshop.

Since 1881, Ruckstuhl has developed rugs at the intersection of architecture, craftsmanship and technical innovation. Some products arise from functional requirements, others from a deep understanding of natural fibres, constructions or manufacturing processes. What they share is a precise approach: durable, true to the material and free from short-lived trends.

Ruckstuhl Werkentwurf stands for rugs conceived from within the workshop — developed through experience, refined over time and made for generations.

The cleaning instructions “Cleaning and Care of Sisal Rugs” apply to this product.

Sisal is a robust plant-based natural fibre with a clear, vibrant texture. The fibre is especially suitable for durable, flat-woven rugs and floor coverings. However, its longevity requires regular dry maintenance cleaning and careful handling of moisture.L...
