Mary Katrantzou and The Rug Company join forces for the second time in a special capsule collection entitled "A Life in Pattern".
Showcasing two new designs in two fresh colour-ways and inspired from artistic movements to natural elements, A Life in Pattern draws upon powerful motifs to create mesmerising pieces of art for the floor.
“By drawing inspiration from our archival prints, our intention is to create beautiful rugs that resemble works of Art and permeate a sense of timelessness in one’s space”.
- Mary Katrantzou
Sophistication meets psychedelia with "Feather Marble" in Midnight and Maroon colour-ways, as swathes of ombre tones rhythmically move across the face of the rug. Inspired by our AW19 collection, which examined the four classical elements of Ionian philosophy, this design is reminiscent of air.
"Splatter" Bright presents a kaleidoscope of paint splashes – offering a nod to Jackson Pollock’s emblematic style. "Splatter" Silver similarly features the iconic Abstract Expressionist ‘drip technique’, while offering muted grey tones for a versatile look. This design draws inspiration from our AW13 collection, which highlighted form and shape over colour.
Mary Katrantzou and The Rug Company join forces in a special capsule collection entitled "Nostalgia".
Featuring seven uniquely vibrant rugs, Mary's first foray into the world of interiors is a celebration of her brand's iconic prints, each rug design inspired by past collections.
“We are an image-led brand and print is so transferable across different disciplines. Being able to create context beyond my runway collections and build a lifestyle brand has always been my intention. Filtered beauty through design can impact how we feel whether it’s through what we choose to wear or what we choose to surround ourselves with. I chose to collaborate with The Rug Company as there was an authentic synergy between the two brands - a genuine appreciation for craftsmanship and a passion for bold patterns and unique beauty, values which we share at Mary Katrantzou.”
"We've done countless prints in my 11 years in fashion. But I think it's really different when you think about what will look beautiful in a home as opposed to on a female body. A lot of our fabrics are engineered to be flattering.
Nostalgia is always part of my narrative, and something that's really fitting in people's homes." - Mary Katrantzou
Three new enlarged blooming additions; Bluebell Daydream, Garden of Eden and Botanical Paradise take cues from Katrantzou’s Spring/Summer 2018 collection ‘Nostalgia’ and more specifically from her childhood ‘paint-by-numbers’ books. Sunray Nude and Sunray Pink draw inspiration from the art of enamel while radiating dazzling light from the dramatic sun silk motif. Framis is vivid in colour and creates movement with its organic shapes.
