"Our style is typified by layered patterns and expressive use of colour, harmonising ethnicity and heritage to achieve a timeless aesthetic. As a Design Studio, we’re also flexible with design, able to adapt to client’s visions."
"A new woven art installation created exclusively for, and in collaboration with, Tart London.
The inspiration for Wild Things emerged from a collaborative brainstorming session between Lucy, Jemima, and the team at Pelican House. The vision was to incorporate animals into the design, but not just any animals–mythical creatures that spark curiosity and imagination. When you gaze upon the figures, there’s an enchanting ambiguity. You'll find yourself questioning whether you can see a rabbit, a dog, or perhaps a blend of both.
As with many creative undertakings, Wild Things began with a map of ideas. The resulting piece is a tapestry of intricate, hand-braided jute, woven delicately by our highly skilled artisans, that forms swirling shapes, circles, zigzags, and other dynamic patterns. Each mythical animal and abstract form is meticulously stitched to accentuate the movement inherent in the design, bringing the entire piece to life with an energy that is totally unique.
Our in-house design team and rug specialists advise on design, colour, materials and size for a simplified custom process. We have a large archive of designs that can be adapted to create a rug that is perfectly tailored to your requirements."
