Sonya’s rugs showcase her rare talent for colour blending.

Her knotted wool and silk rugs are of heirloom quality ensuring that they will be enjoyed by many generations to come.

Sonya designs and creates the rugs in her London studio with her small team, working on a number of new designs each year, in addition to limited edition series, and bespoke commissions for area rugs. She is delighted to have been nominated for the Homes & Gardens Awards 2012.

“ I’m fascinated by exploring the design possibilities of knotting and tufting with wool. There are so many ways to create original pieces working with texture, pile height, weaving techniques, yarn type and the overall shape of the design – it’s a very exciting medium”
