Objects Kabul Sunset Bouquet, Louis Barthélemy for ISHKAR

From £4,500

The weather for the weekend is still erratic with more rain on the way, and we personally feel the need for something warm and cosy underfoot. This week we are dreaming of artist-designed functional textiles for the home, such as this sumptuous pink-hued hand-knotted carpet belonging to a new capsule collection created by Louis Barthélemy for ISHKAR. Evoking the warm colours of a sunset, the carpet is inspired by 14th century gardens, such as the Babur gardens in Kabul, with their lush vegetation, ponds and pavilions. Each carpet features a design by the French multidisciplinary artist, that was then realised by carpet weavers in northern Afghanistan – they take between 4 to 6 months to produce – so order now in time for autumn.
