LITHIC RUG COLLECTION
The Lithic Rug Collection is a series of new rugs designs inspired by the untamed beauty of rock formations in the wild landscapes of Britain and a profound connection to the earth. Drawing from the textures, tones, and atmospheric essence of ancient stone landscapes, each piece captures the rugged yet serene quality of geological wonders.
The collection of 4 new rug designs draw from a sense of a contented isolation one feels when surrounded by elementally sculptured terrains, from vast moors where rocky outcrops emerge from stretches of ethereal terrain to the craggy formations of sea battered coastlines.
“Through these designs I wanted to capture a moment in time, the full sensation of standing alone amongst ancient rock formations and absorbing the landscape through all of my senses” Caroline Lindsell - Creative Director
Available as both a hand knotted pile rug or flatweave rugs, the collection can be made to bespoke sizes to suit individual homes. The Lithic Collection of rugs are ethically handcrafted by skilled artisans in India and Nepal and are certified by Label Step the fair trade non-profit organisation committed to the wellbeing of weavers and workers in the handmade carpet industry and are Goodweave certified.
More than a visual reinterpretation the rug designs are a personal tactile experience of nature immersing you in the feeling of standing barefoot on ancient ground, connecting deeply with the earth beneath. Evoking the sensory richness of wild, rocky landscapes experienced through all of ones senses. The designs are imbued with mist rolling over jagged terrain, the scent of earth and stone, and the cool, mineral tang carried by the wind. Hints of heather, wild and untamed, add to the atmosphere, conjuring the natural beauty and essence of the moors, salt sprayed coastlines, and untamed rocky peaks of the British wilderness.
