The Wick Culture - Object Folding Ribbon Rug by Campbell-Rey

Object Folding Ribbon Rug by Campbell-Rey

Folding Ribbon Rug by Campbell-Rey
£695

Breathe fresh life into your interiors with this striking rug designed by buzzy London design-duo Campbell-Rey for Nordic Knots, a Swedish brand marrying functional design with Scandi minimalism. The design of this rug is a modern interpretation of the ribbons and swags that appear in late 18th-century furniture of the Gustavian style, a Swedish take on French Neoclassicism. We love the combination of the raspberry pink and amber but look to the Green Maze design if you prefer the verdant tones of spring. Folding Ribbon is handmade in small batches so only a few are available in each size.

The fashion designer Henry Holland first discovered a love of ceramics during the pandemic. After years spent in the frenetic fashion world, the meditative process of sculpting each piece by hand, provided a new and welcome pace of working. Since experimenting in lockdown, he has founded an eponymous studio and worked on a range of homeware projects including textiles, glassware, lighting and furniture. This blue-and-white clay vase was made using a slab building technique and is finished with a high gloss transparent glaze.
