Rugs: Jennifer Manners
Adire - hand-knotted @ 100 knots per square inch
“Founded in 2014 in a small studio on the Kings Road in London, Jennifer Manners Design quickly became known for its big passion for rugs.
Since the beginning, the studio has worked collaboratively and creatively with some of the most celebrated design professionals around the world providing luxury rugs for both residential and commercial projects. With a commitment to the handmade heritage and a uniquely sustainable approach, Jennifer Manners has become synonymous with timeless, elegance, sustainable luxury and British design.
Our founder, Jennifer, has extensive travel exposure largely gained from her former career as a foreign news journalist. With an instinctual approach to observation and interpretation, many of the designs are derived from cultures and destinations across the globe. The patterns are often elegant, textured and interesting abiding to the philosophy that a rug is a layer in a room that must sit in balance with other elements. Therefore, they are designed in concert to an overall space.
With its passion for innovation and collaboration, the studio has won several awards including Best Sustainable Product (Decorex International), ‘Best British Brands’ (Country & Townhouse Magazine) and ‘Best Accessory’ (Homes & Garden UK) amongst others.
Now based in Design Centre Chelsea Harbour, London, and New York Design Center, New York, Jennifer Manners Design continues to push the boundaries of weaving, materials and design and are passionate about delivering sustainable options to luxury interiors. After eight years, the studio feels they are only at the beginning of the journey. Many exciting collaborations are in the pipeline and continued material innovation.”
