In the latest chapter of their enduring creative partnership The Rug Company unveils Ratio by Paul Smith, a collection that translates the designer’s distinctive approach to pattern into richly tactile form. A longstanding admirer of modernist design, Paul Smith brings his characteristic balance of discipline and expressiveness to the collection, with The Rug Company's artisanal expertise adding a helping hand. Ratio comprises of four designs—Axis, Stil, Raster and Takt—all in different formats, each offering a distinct interpretation of geometric order. [b]Takt Border Ash[/b] plays with balance and proportion, with a bold patterned border framing a quieter centre. Crafted in New Zealand wool, its varied grey tones and gentle shifts in texture give the surface depth and a softly vintage feel. Newly, Takt highlights two construction techniques: Tulu and Indo-Nepali handknot. This technical innovation, executed in collaboration with our artisans, delivers a sculptural rug that changes character as you experience it: graphic from afar and richly textured up close.
