Les Keepers

a rug that celebrates togetherness and the beauty in inconsistencies through delicate linework and patchworking

Textile studio Les Keepers, led by Argentinian-British designer Pablo Di Francesco, is rooted in the celebration of shared experiences and mindful production, “from stitch to surface”. Sustainability and ethics are central; pieces are produced within the UK in small batches for a slow and considered approach to cross-seasonal textile designs.

Les Keepers began with tablecloths during the Covid pandemic, attributing this to the longing for human connection during this time. The Jogakbo rug holds a similar sentiment, its expressive and exquisite colour combinations nurture and ground the mood of a space.

Bringing nature closer to daily life, the patterns within the Jogakbo rug design evoke the feeling of exploring a wild garden. An entanglement of hand-painted geometric lines overlap and harmonise, the intersecting patterns add an off-beat rhythm and character into interior spaces.

I love the idea of bringing the less rigid world of nature into a living room, a bedroom, an office, so that the eyes can rest.

Jogakbo

Introducing Jogakbo, a rug that celebrates the beating heart of spaces and design, reflecting themes of togetherness and personable inconsistencies through delicate linework and patchworking.

Bringing nature closer to daily life, the patterns within the Jogakbo rug design evoke the feeling of exploring a wild garden. An entanglement of hand-painted geometric lines overlap and harmonise, the breaking patterns add an off-beat rhythm and character into interior spaces. 

Thinking of colour from the ground up, the palette draws on clay reds, rosy pinks and a zesty lemon yellow to create an atmosphere that invites you to connect from within indoor spaces. Made with 100% wool, the surface is enriched through a hand-finished cut-and-loop pile, creating a tactile sensation underfoot and to the eye.
