Textiles: Luke Irwin Custom-Made Hand-knotted Rugs

I came across some beautifully patterned, richly hued rugs by Luke Irwin; a London-based designer and manufacturer of custom-made hand-knotted rugs. Believing that a rug should be a foundation upon which various elements of an interior’s décor are brought together, Luke Irwin works closely with clients to create the desired piece and the portfolio on the website offers a glimpse into some of the design possibilities, and was the place where I found a few rugs that I like to think of as being ‘African Inspired’ given the names and themes; ‘Botswana’ and ‘African Crescent’.
Luke Irwin was established in 2003 and is a specialist in wool and silk rugs that are hand-knotted using traditional methods by highly skilled craftsmen in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal and Jaipur, India. Handmade to order production lead times average 12 to 14 weeks, but are dependant on the season.
