The fabulous rugs from Swedish company Mattahari are designed by the very talented Ingrid Külper, who believes that forms and colours influence our sense of wellbeing - I cannot agree more. Her designs are inspired by the sacred geometry found in nature, from snowflakes to the human body. So her carpets are decorating spas and yoga studio as well as private homes. I absolutely like the sculptural shapes and my favorite pattern is Crown, which reminds me of a flat pinecone. Even the rugs names are inspiring, such as Seed of Life or Lotus. All carpets are handtufted and made from 100% New Zealand wool, mixed with bamboo silk for the softness and shine.

Have you noticed how knitted products invade homes, and not just as cushions and plaids? Designers are playing with materials and large knit stitches to give a twist to the classic granny look.

London-based designer Claire-Anne O’Brien plays with oversized ‘threads’ for her Knit Stools.
