Design Inspiration
Traditional Persian motifs translated into washable format. The Jurdar collection interprets classical Oriental design vocabulary through contemporary material science, where polyamide replaces wool without abandoning aesthetic complexity.
Vintage patterns reference centuries of weaving tradition: central medallions surrounded by floral arabesques, corner spandrels echoing the centre's ornamental density, borders layered like Persian miniature frames. The designs carry deliberate weathering effects, colours muted as if by decades of sunlight and foot traffic. This manufactured patina appeals to contemporary preference for collected rather than coordinated interiors, rugs that appear inherited rather than purchased. Multiple colour options span from jewel tones recalling Safavid court textiles to earth palettes suggesting tribal kilims. Bold yet balanced, the patterns provide visual weight without overwhelming spaces, anchoring furniture arrangements with ornamental authority.
Machine-woven construction executes intricate patterning with precision impossible in hand-knotting at accessible price points. The polyamide pile achieves remarkable softness, its synthetic composition yielding a silky texture that contradicts expectations of artificial fibres. This material choice proves deliberate: polyamide (also called nylon) offers superior resilience compared to polyester or polypropylene alternatives, recovering from compression without permanent crushing. The fibre's inherent lustre mimics silk's light-catching properties, adding depth to colours through surface sheen. Slip-resistant polyamide backing prevents migration across smooth floors, rubber-free construction avoiding potential reactions with certain flooring finishes.
Polyamide's practical virtues extend beyond softness. The synthetic fibre withstands machine washing at 30°C without degradation, emerging with colours intact and pile restored. This washability transforms maintenance from anxiety to simplicity: spills become inconveniences rather than disasters, pet accidents require laundering rather than professional cleaning, accumulated soil gets removed thoroughly rather than surface-treated. The material dries relatively quickly, returning to service within reasonable timeframes. Eco-credentials include recyclability at end of life, the polyamide composition breaking down for reprocessing into new fibres. Coordinating runners and mats allow pattern continuity across multiple spaces, hallways flowing visually into living areas.
These rugs suit households prioritizing both aesthetic sophistication and practical resilience. Family living spaces where vintage elegance appeals but traditional wool seems impractical. Dining areas prone to food spills requiring frequent deep cleaning. Bedrooms desiring plush underfoot comfort without maintenance complexity. Rental properties where tenants want design impact without landlord anxiety over damage deposits. The vintage patterns adapt equally to genuinely traditional interiors and contemporary spaces seeking textural contrast against minimal furnishings.

Botanical Prints: From Pressed Specimens To Contemporary Wallpaper
Botanical illustration began as scientific documentation, artists translating three-dimensional plants into flat images serving both informational and aesthetic purposes. This exploration traces the journey from pressed herbarium specimens and watercolour expeditions to contemporary wallpaper, examining how printing techniques evolved from copperplate engraving through William Morris' screen printing to digital reproduction whilst maintaining essential character: beauty emerging from accuracy rather than imposed upon it.

Woven Ground: The Cultural Geography of Handmade Rugs
Handwoven rugs carry geography in their fibres. The wool came from specific mountains where specific plants fed specific sheep; the dyes derive from regional botanicals; the patterns preserve cultural memory encoded in visual language. From Persian workshop medallions to Berber mountain abstractions to Scandinavian restraint, each tradition represents centuries of accumulated knowledge, techniques refined through generations. This investigation explores how materials shaped by landscape, methods passed like recipes, and patterns carrying meaning beyond decoration create the ground beneath our feet.
