Paul Smith for The Rug Company - Spray Swirl Rug - Small

Paul Smith has returned to collaborate with The Rug Company on a collection of seven new rugs, the designs experiment with familiar forms to create abstract motifs that inform the shape of the rugs. This collection encapsulates the evolution of a historic creative partnership while offering a new perspective on the relationship between colour and shape. A contemporary take on a classic design, Spray Swirl is inspired by the iconic Swirl design featured in Paul Smith’s first collection for The Rug Company. Muted jewel tones are carefully calibrated to complement and contrast with one another, forming the iconic swirling motion. Using a handknotted technique, colours are blended to soften the transition between shades and create a spray-like effect that embodies aspects of graphic design and street art.
