We are building a house and this is the inspiration for the living room. It's from the home of the incredible Suzanne and Christopher Sharp, who founded The Rug Company in 1997. Aside from being one of the most divine producers of rugs and cushions and "stuff", with a great roster of contributing designers (Paul Smith, DvF, Sam Taylor-Wood, Vivienne Westwood, etc) the company also carries the GoodWeave label. This means that only adult artisans, not children, produce the products. It is surprising in this day and age how many labels do not carry this certification -- you really shouldn't buy a rug without it, knowing what we now know about the industry.
