Ritarit — Hand-woven Carpet

Every carpet design begins somewhere inspiring — most often in the places we travel to, and always in the genius loci of the space it is made for. The idea for this collection took shape in a desert patio outside Abu Dhabi, where layered rugs turned open sand into a room. The "Ritarit" (Knights) carpet started from the magnificent halls of Blenheim Palace. It brings together the family coats of arms of the client's lineage, our own fascination with history, and the architectural history and background of the building — a baroque castle. The pattern carries nuances of Renaissance, Rococo and Baroque, and repeats the tones of the room itself. All carpets are hand-woven from New Zealand wool and silk, and dyed to our own specification.
