Knothouse is deeply committed to the design process, crafting each rug to achieve harmony in energy, proportion, and composition. Their designs are a preferred choice for both high-end interior designers and discerning retail clients. Most rugs are made to order and available in custom sizes and colours — a tailored approach that not only meets individual preferences but also supports the brand’s sustainable values. Throughout the production process, Knothouse promotes environmentally responsible practices and is a proud member of GoodWeave.

Each of Knothouse's rugs is a visual text in itself. Knots become words and patterns become sentences. You can read your own patterns in them. They become immersion, sensual, tactile voyages of discovery in weaves and knots that invite reflection and interpretation. They are art that you can walk on, beautiful as poems, if you don't actually get the words of an author. The rhythm and grammar of a poem reason with the dance, structure and windings of the threads and are broken by the knot in the same way that the sentence ends with a period that interrupts a sequence. Text means: texture, as when the author William Heinesen writes: “The present is a weaver who draws her threads from eternity, the garment she weaves is the garment of life.”

MANU builds object-to-human relationships. Their objects are all ‘characters’ to live alongside — not bought and sold, but adopted. Working across waste streams, the material becomes both the starting point and the guide, allowing its limitations to shape the design of each object. They craft objects from PET bottles, lemon peels, or sand — depending on what’s available around them. MANU believes this philosophy can help us rediscover the value of finite raw materials, encouraging more respect and care for the objects we live with.
