Artist Collaborations At Knots Rugs

11 Jan 2021

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?

How a Rug gets its Colours

When you’re thinking of a design for a rug, the first thing that might come to your mind is the intricate pattern or overall artwork. But behind the allure of each beautiful rug lies an important and complicated process which often goes unnoticed - the art of selecting colours.

Translating Art into Rugs

At Knots Rugs, the story of each rug goes far beyond the finished product. It starts with an idea, a spark of inspiration and grows into something tangible, something you can feel beneath your feet but also connect on a deeper level. The journey of rug making begins with a design and what makes our story different is our collaborations with different artists, in which we translate their arts into rugs. Creating a living piece of story and art for your homes.

The Craft of Nepalese Carpets

Amid the rise of mass production and machine-made goods, some crafts remain deeply connected to their roots, carrying traditions that span-generations. Nepali hand-knotted carpet is an example of one such treasure - a handwoven masterpiece that tells the story of culture, community and craftsmanship.
