Cosmic Check & Falling Shadows by Kangan Arora
As part of London Design Festival 2022, we launch a new two-part collection with textile designer Kangan Arora; Cosmic Check and Falling Shadows. We're delighted to launch this two-part collection by textiles designer Kangan Arora. The meticulously thought-out patterns and colour combinations seen across the 10 new rugs are borne from what Kangan describes as ‘often mathematical’ processes and were designed during lockdown. The rugs are produced in 3 different constructs (Hand Knotted, Tufted and Hand Woven), each made with New Zealand wool and are influenced by architectural shapes and references, from both Indian and Japanese ancient traditions.
The colours used in each rug balance the bold patterns to produce an overall synergy that allows each to sit comfortably in a range of settings.

Time was abundant and led to repetitive processes and patterns, reflecting the cyclical nature of my days.

Cosmic Check
Yantra in 160cm x 230cm. Interior Stylist: Hannah Bort, Photographer: Felix Speller
Cosmic Check is a collection of dancing colours and distorted checkerboard patterns drawn from Indian cosmic arts and board games. The designs are full of movement and motion, they allude to both the circular rhythms of chanted mantras and the eye-catching graphics of modernist op art.
Falling Shadows
Binary Pastel in 160cm x 230cm. Interior Stylist: Hannah Bort, Photographer: Felix Speller
Falling Shadows draws on arches, openings and architectural forms are picked out with a clean linear aesthetic and simple palate of dual colours. From the gallery to the living room, this collection observes the way light falls and shadows are cast in extraordinary spaces.
