We're delighted to launch Cosmic Check as the first of a two-part collection by textile 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.

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.

We will be exhibiting the new collection and hosting Kangan Arora in conversation with Debika Ray from our new showroom space within the Shoreditch Triangle Trail.
