Northmore
Overlapping geometric shapes create a detailed multicoloured hand knotted rug
Since 2013, Flock has been pioneering fierce British design, famed for bold and colourful geometric fabrics. Built with the belief of nurturing talent the studio has worked with graduates, designers and artists from the partnership of Touching Elbows to collaborations with Métier and Sunny Todd Prints.
“When developing designs, I’ve rolled fabrics onto the floor to get a sense of scale and pattern and often thought how they’d be amazing as rugs,” says Jenny Wingfield, creative director, Flock.
Working through Flock’s extraordinary collection of fabrics, Jenny and FLOOR_STORY director Simon eventually settled on Northmore, one of the studio’s kaleidoscopic designs in a multicolour palette, confident that it would create a show-stopping rug. Immediately they knew it had to be something really rather remarkable, a truly luxurious finish that left little doubt of the quality of the piece.
Hand-knotted in an astonishing 100-knots per inch Tibetan weave, Northmore is one of the finest available in the Designer Collection, only made more drool worthy with pure Chinese silk and semi-worsted premium New Zealand wool. Featuring an astounding 26 yarn colours, this rug is something special.
