Rappgo - Made in Mörkaskog since 1967

For 50 years, Rappgo has delivered soulful and carefully selected floors worldwide. Every plank created in our small family business in Mörkaskog, Småland, has its own personality. Every plank tells its own story that we pass on to you. It is no coincidence that the wide planks have become our hallmark; we want nature's forms to be central. Nature is the world's best designer. We only need to look out our windows here in Mörkaskog to have that confirmed. Here, we get inspired. Here, we find the soul of our floors. When you install a Rappgo floor, you will do the same.

A floor lays the foundation for the impression made on someone entering a room for the first time, more or less consciously. The floor speaks to more senses than one might imagine: the feeling of walking on it, the sound of footsteps, the visual impression of color, shapes, and patterns, and not least, the scent.

Wooden floors have a scent, and the subtle differences in hue between different wood types and treatments may be delicate, but they are there. A floor can be anonymous and discreet, not drawing attention to itself, and instead give precedence to other furnishings. But the floor can also be vibrant and full of character, immediately highlighting itself. You decide how it should be.
