Founded in 1997, The Rug Company has endeavoured to create the most desirable rugs in the world. Combining the ancient craft of rug making with the creative brilliance of some of today’s most talented designers. As co-founder of The Rug Company, Suzanne Sharp's fearless and instinctive creative vision has earned her a reputation as a pioneer of rug design. The BONAVITA rug encapsulates her talent at creating a thoroughly modern design from a traditional reference, playing with scale, direction and most of all colour. Inspired by tiles found in an old Maltese church, the pattern is reworked and edited in fresh blue and green into a contemporary classic. Diagonal lines are notoriously challenging to achieve in a handknotted rug, but are expertly woven to pleasing effect within this rug.
