The dream duo behind Dinosaur Designs are, for the first time, collaborating with Designer Rugs as individual artists. Louise Olsen and Stephen Ormandy have worked their magic into a collection of hand knotted rugs, a cleverly crafted whirlwind of brilliant colours and shapes. Both designers have explored different parts of their worlds; Louise dreaming of the infinity of nature and Stephen diving into the subconscious mind. "I've been inspired by the infinite possibilities in nature: seeds sprout, spores spread, plants grow and forests come into existence and continue to develop," said Louise. "Watching this is an endless source of inspiration." Naturally, we're wondering if she's a Taurus. As for Stephen, he says: "My work is born of the subconscious mind. I'm looking for vibration and rhythm, the play of line creating positive and negative space, searching for tonal balance through contrast or harmony, while developing chroma relationships that hug or repel.” The collection of six rugs is made from Tibetan wool and silk rugs, with each design available to be custom made in any size. Time to bring a little harmony and nature into our homes, Olsen and Ormandy style.
