About This Rug
These amorphous shapes have a sculptural quality rare in contemporary rugs. Balance and directed eye movement seem paramount to these designers, where choice of industrial materials is counterpointed by an almost fragile sensitivity.
Established in 1997 by Sharon Bowles and Edgar Linares, Bowles and Linares is a West London-based design studio working across design, sculpture and architecture. Pairing Bowles’ architectural and interiors experience with Linares’ expertise in engineering, jewellery design and furniture making, their practice’s output includes lighting, glassware, furniture and interior products characterised by intricate detailing, crafted character and a defined material palette. Set apart from fashion trends, their hand-worked designs combine modernist ideas with influences from antiquity.
