The Painterly Collection: What It Is and Who It Suits
Share
Abstract designs closer to canvas than to carpet: washes, gradients and drifts, with no repeating motif to find.
The 17 designs in this collection
They are drawn from 13 separate design sources: Umbra, Solstice, Aurora, Cirrus, Diffusion, Spectra, Mistral, Penumbra, Chroma, Drift, Sediment, Sfumato and Watermark. Each has its own article explaining where the pattern comes from and what the motifs mean.

The colours it runs in
Across the collection you will find cream & white, orange & terracotta, green & khaki, blue & navy, yellow & gold, grey & silver, lilac & purple, pink & fuchsia, black & anthracite and red & burgundy. Every design is woven in all ten sizes, so the choice within a collection is purely pattern and colour.
Who it suits
Colour without edges. If that description fits the room you are buying for, start here rather than with the whole catalogue — 17 designs is a browsable number, 315 is not.
The construction, which is the same throughout
Chenille polyester pile on a woven cotton backing with a non-slip finish. Machine washable at 30°C, no underlay needed, no latex or rubber. The heritage is in the drawing; the construction is deliberately modern.
