ARTIST COLLABORATIONS AT KNOTS RUGS
Art is what lies at the heart of Knots Rugs, with MD Bonnie Sutton previously having studied at the Byam Shaw School of Art. The artist collaborations explore the notion of the art inspired rug, demonstrating the importance of a close working relationship between the company and the artist in order to successfully translate the work from canvas to loom.
Understanding the intricacies of the traditional rug making process, Knots Rugs is dedicated to honouring the artist’s original vision and in turn creating a contemporary piece of art for the floor. With the collection titled 'Your Floor is the Canvas', this inspiring film gives a fascinating insight into their design process and production, revealing the aesthetic of the company and it's founder Bonnie Sutton.
The dedication of everybody involved in the process, from the artist to the weaver, is what allows for Knots Rugs to push the boundaries of contemporary rug design and poses the question: where does the painting stop and the rug start?
