"The rugs were layered and arranged in a very practical order filling the space and covering the stone floor. I wanted to expand on this idea by using a group of patterned grids that can be used in a similar way to define the room. I've not seen this done before, using a design system that is interlinked with a common pattern that can visually connect single units into an endless field."
Wrong picked the two-tone finish from opposite sides of the colour wheel, pairing petrol green with a brick red for maximum contrast.
The rugs themselves are hand-woven in wool, with a low density of 20 knots per square inch to create a lived-in feel.
