COLLECT - THE RUG COMPANY'S NEW MAGAZINE

The inaugural issue of The Rug Company's Collect Magazine begins with this quote by Jean Willy Mestach, "Tell me what you collect, tell me how you collect, and I will tell you who you are." This high design magazine culls the work of the best photographers and writers to tell the design story behind this incredibly varied, distinctly British rug company. Created by the most talented boldfaced names in fashion and interiors today, their designer collections and in - house patterns are bold and visionary.
These "collectible journals" reveal the vibrancy of the company and its creatives, and the initial issue has an essay by Living Architecture founder philosopher writer Alain de Botton, photography by well-known interiors lensman Francois Hallard, American editor Mayer Rus and more. Their collective efforts yield a great selection of articles, with a piece on British artist Sam Taylor Wood, the story of Sue Timney's new black and white rug collection, the late Alexander McQueen's lively designs, the New York showroom as examined by Rus, and the Milan and Moroccan dweller Umberto Pasti's collection of decorative objects. Collect will show you how to make more of your floor. To order, email collect@therugcompany.info
