DESIGNER RUGS
I love the process of collaborations, working alongside like-minded people and
seeing my designs interpreted in a different medium.
One of my favourite design partnerships has been with Designer Rugs, a
company whose focus on design and exceptional quality sits well with my own
values. It was a wonderful process, looking back over my archives and creating
the rug collection ‘Voyage’.
I began by selecting some of my favourite designs, reinterpreting them for hand
tufting and playing with scale, colour combinations and creating anew.
Working closely with Designer Rugs, l learnt about how the handmade rugs are
constructed, discovered new techniques and embraced the challenge of working
within certain production limitations … all enhancing my own design journey.
