Strata

Beneath our feet, the earth is a vast archive. Layer upon layer of stone—strata—records the passing of ages. Each band tells a story: of rivers that once carved valleys, of forests long vanished, of ancient seas that rose and retreated. Compressed by time, these layers become the pages of the planet’s memory, a record stretching back millions of years.

This hand-knotted rug pays homage to that quiet chronicle. Its surface unfolds in horizontal bands, subtle gradations of colour that echo sediment and stone—ochres, deep russets, soft greys, and veins of ivory woven together in patient succession. The design captures the rhythm of geological time: ordered yet dynamic, simple yet profound.

Wool and silk are combined with meticulous care, each knot mirroring the slow, deliberate work of the earth itself. The fibres shimmer gently, like sunlight brushing across a rock face, revealing the textures and hues hidden within stone.

To walk upon it is to step into the story of the earth—into the weight of time, the patience of nature, and the beauty revealed when layers are brought to light. More than a rug, “Strata” is a meditation in fibre: a reminder that beneath the surface, history endures, quietly and magnificently.
