Afghan War Rug | Lee Broom Carpetry Pendant Light | Mary Katrantzou AW14 | House of Hackney Wilton Mey Meh Sofa

There’s often more to a pattern than meets the eye. Take Mary Katrantzou’s latest collection, for example, which features an array of layered badges and symbols that create intricate prints which hint at the souvenirs of youth. Likewise, Afghan war rugs replace the standard rug vernacular with helicopters, planes, and weapons of all sizes to communicate a new message. Lee Broom’s Carpetry Pendant Light adapts a Persian design for a fresh feel, while House of Hackney reimagines a 17th century rug from Liberty’s famous Oriental Carpet department and peppers it across an array of fashion and home goods.
