Biophilic and Neuroaesthetic Rug Collection

Nina Lichtenstein × Ruggle Up

About the Collection

Designed for residential and commercial spaces, the collection draws from nature’s patterns, rhythms, and compositions to create environments that feel more grounded, restorative, and aligned with how we are meant to live. Each rug is intended not only to enrich the visual experience of a space, but to subtly influence how it feels to move through it each day.


This rug collection brings biophilic and neuroaesthetic design to the surfaces beneath us, transforming the ground plane into a source of calm, connection, and sensory support.

Inspired by experiences in nature and the lasting imprint they leave, the collection explores themes of trees, water, and organic forms. Branches reaching over water, shifting light through leaves, and the quiet structure of the natural world are translated into compositions that carry a sense of depth and movement while remaining calm and cohesive. The patterns are carefully scaled and softened to create continuity and ease, allowing the rugs to anchor a space while maintaining openness and flow.

Inspired by Nature

Rooted in the understanding that our surroundings shape how we think, feel, and function, this collection reflects the belief that what we stand on matters. The ground plane is one of the largest continuous surfaces in any space, and it plays a meaningful role in how we experience comfort, stability, and emotional regulation. These rugs are designed to support that experience, creating a grounded feeling that carries into the rest of the day.

What We Stand On Matters

Created in collaboration with Ruggle Up, the collection is produced with a focus on quality, durability, and everyday livability. Each rug is designed to live comfortably within a range of interiors while maintaining a clear connection to nature and the principles of health-centered design.

The initial collection includes seven designs available in four standard sizes, with the added versatility of being used not only underfoot but also as wall tapestries. Additional compositions have already been developed and will be introduced over time, expanding on the original themes. Custom sizing and applications may be available upon request, reflecting a shared commitment to thoughtful design, flexibility, and creating spaces that support wellbeing.
