Designer Rugs is launching a second collection of rugs from interior and product design Gavin Harris.
An evolution of his first collection, Mindscape, the Circular Logic collection is based on a single element – the circle. It explores how circles can connect, repel or overlap.
“I like the circular form – it’s soft but controlled, and it can sit with other elements comfortably,” says Harris. “It has an innately human link – it is a lovely shape to touch and has a welcoming feel. It’s part of our daily life, in the sun, moon and stars.”
Along with the sweeping circular forms, the collection is characterized by a joyful colour palette. Embracing strong, bright colours, with a hint of 80s nostalgia, the collection both challenges and welcomes the eye at the same time.
“I love colour and lean towards more bright, strong and deep hues – they create interest and challenge our thoughts,” says Harris. “With this collection I wanted to explore how I could dilute this desire I have with colours, while still exploring relations within colours and how they link to our memory.”
The collection is hand tufted in New Zealand wool, known for its naturally white colour for superior dye performance, high durability, and soft feel. Each line of the designs is painstakingly hand carved, to create a sharpness and graphic quality that is ideal for the geometric designs. The designs also combine different pile heights for an added three-dimensional interest, creating a striking interplay of shadow, colour and texture.
“For me, rugs add texture to a space, creating a feeling of softness and being welcomed into that room,” says Harris. “It lets your eye relax, but also can direct you to take in the room and it’s elements.”
All four designs can be customized according to size, shape and colour. For further information, head here.
