| Beatrice Alemagna rug for Node |
//
I'm pretty excited about the collection of limited edition rugs designed by various artists, including Beatrice Alemagna (author and illustrator of one of our favourite children's books, la gigantesca piccola cosa) and (another favourite) Sanna Annukka, that's launching at the Design Museum in London tomorrow.

The brainchild of the wonderful Chris Haughton (author of another of our favourites! Oh No George - which, awesomely, I just learned that Juliet of Jules&Clem worked on) and Akshay Sthapit, Node is a non-profit social enterprise set up to produce handmade, fairly traded carpets from the designs of some amazing artists and illustrators. Alemagna, Haughton and Annukka? Plus fairtrade social enterprise and textiles? It sounds pretty great.
These are stunning, thanks for the recommendation (not that I could afford one!) It's great when someone as successful as Chris is actively involved in fair trade. He even made fair trade Owl plushes for A Bit Lost. I loved working on his books - although there was a heated 'discussion' about orange pantones! Only in Children's publishing...
ReplyDeleteSo many oranges to choose from! But the colours in the book are a big part of why I love it, so I guess the discussions paid off.
DeleteAnd I'd love one of the rugs too, if I had a spare £1k!
These are gorgeous, if only I had any monies. And Oh No George is (one of) our favourites too.
ReplyDeleteI know, right? I do think its right that they're expensive, so I guess I'll limit myself to looking at the pretty.
DeleteI have a lot of time for George and his journey of personal growth.
Oh me too. Some things should be expensive, and I should have more money.
