Anna Spiro + Designer Rugs new collaboration

Designer Rugs is thrilled to announce a head-turning new collaboration with interior designer and creative force Anna Spiro whom is known for her clever use of pattern and colour and her inherent ability to create unique, comfortable and awe-inspiring environments that people want to linger in. With a bestselling book and a successful textile range under her belt, she has now turned her attention towards creating this beautiful collection of handmade rugs.
Consisting of two handtufted rugs and two handknotted rugs, this collection is truly a feast for the eyes, featuring an eclectic yet elegant mix of floral motifs, striking geometrics, and joyful patterns. Each design was thoughtfully created to work seamlessly in a variety of spaces, from traditional to modern, minimalist to maximalist. “I wanted to create a collection that reflected our love of pattern and colour, but one that also offered a mix of style options,” says Anna. “As an example, ‘Ziggy’ works to add colour to a space but is a more plain, modern design which is perfect when put back with lots of patterned upholstery. Whereas ‘Kandilli’ is very patterned and would look amazing with plain upholstery.”
For each design to look its best, Designer Rugs has incorporated two different techniques to create this collection – a first for the brand. Geometric designs ‘Ziggy’ and ‘Otto’ are handtufted – a technique which creates clean lines and sharp edges. Floral designs ‘Kandilli’ and ‘Flora’ are handknotted, which has a more handmade feel and creates a softer finish.
No matter how it’s made, the end result is unsurpassed quality, something that is very important to Anna. “Something I am really passionate about is that things of quality take a very long time to produce. You must be willing to wait for something made by hand that will last and stand the test of time.” All three designs can be custom sized, shaped and coloured to suit any interior.
