18.01_LONDON

Formerly design directors within the luxury sector, Cristina Rivadulla-Rey and Dean Thomas know a thing or two about the aesthetics of materials. The founders of creative consultancy 18.01 LONDON travel the world seeking out beautiful menswear, womenswear, knitwear and accessories for their ‘inspiration archive’, which has become the go-to resource for design teams, stylists, art directors and editors. Their FLOOR_STORY Carve wool, linen and bamboo silk rug, available in Citrine and Stone, offers an innovative take on pattern, with large-scale stripes and oversized knitted stitches juxtaposed with more intricate prints to produce a striking contrast that makes us think about texture in a whole new way.
