The Rug Company is celebrating its 20th anniversary with TRC20, a capsule collection of hand-knotted designer rugs.
Leading design houses Paul Smith, Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Kelly Wearstler and Suzanne Sharp have all contributed to the collection.
Each piece is woven entirely by hand with the use of age-old weaving techniques and refined natural yarns. The range includes Chiaroscuro by Alexander McQueen, which comes in a limited edition of 40 pieces made from handwoven aubusson wool.
The collection also includes hand-knotted Tibetan wool pieces such as the Bonavita by Suzanne Sharp, the Highland by Vivienne Westwood, the Festival by Paul Smith and Channels Copper by Kelly Wearstler, which is made from both hand-knotted Tibetan wool and silk.
The rugs, and photography of the designers in their creative spaces by artist Mary McCartney, will be on display at an exhibition during the London Design Festival from 16 – 24 September 2017.
