The Rug Company

The Rug Company has published its new catalogue, a beautiful hard-back book illustrating over 250 handmade rugs, cushions and wallhangings from its own collection and by luminaries of fashion and design such as Barber Osgerby, Kelly Wearstler, Paul Smith, Eva Zeisel, Vivienne Westwood, Marni and Diane von Furstenberg.

Inside the striking hard-back geometric cover lie pages of superb new lifestyle photography by Bill Batten, art directed by Suzanne Sharp; the images flow through different styles of interiors, from understated glamour to sophisticated and classical, from Art Deco to contemporary minimalism. The pictures provide readers with an opportunity to view the handmade rugs in situ, and will be an inspiration to customers and interior designers alike. This new book is a must-have for any design enthusiast.

As well as a source of inspiration, the beautifully designed book also aims to be a useful tool. The index at the back enhances the book’s reference value, as readers can easily navigate through the collections and quickly ascertain the yarn, knot count and price band of each design.

The Rug Company is renowned for its collaborations with leading figures from the worlds of fashion, art and design. In its final pages, the book gives a unique glimpse into the personality of each designer as they answer an insightful set of personal questions.

The impressive line-up of designers combined with the confident photography and its own excellent design ensures that the catalogue is testament to the design credentials of The Rug Company.
