Coral + Hive is a natural rug company, employing a team of all women artisans in South Africa and also weaving with a family-owned loom in India. The rug collection is made up of luxurious understated fibre blends, including relaxed jutes and hand-spun mohair and wool textures. Established in 2018, the company has gained global recognition for its story-filled rugs and contemporary African offering.
Every Coral + Hive rug embodies a unique blend of craftsmanship and perfect imperfection, all made by hand. A commitment to sustainability is upheld in every part of the making process. Coral + Hive engages collaboratively with clients and their designers to create and bring heirloom rugs to life.
The process of design is naturally joyful with these tactile textures, incredible colour and pattern combinations.
Biophilic design principles are at the heart of this slow craft brand. To own a Coral + Hive rug is to feel more connected to nature and to a slower pace of living in a more ethical world.

Please describe a recently completed project or tell us about the bespoke service that you offer
"We recently completed a project where our clients chose to work with us using our customised service. The starting point was some existing C+H patterns and we worked with them to alter the designs to better fit their scheme. They were able to choose gorgeous mohair colours for their Boho, Clifton, and Mano rugs. Each one was woven by hand with customised mohair pattern details. The end results were beautiful!"
