Agnella by Brintons Expands Design Discoveries Rug Collection with the V&A
Agnella by Brintons, specialists in crafting premium wool rugs, proudly announces the launch of its latest rug collaboration with the prestigious V&A (Victoria and Albert Museum): The Design Discoveries Collection. Building upon the resounding success of the initial collaboration in 2023, the new 15-piece range remains a testament to their shared commitment to celebrating design, craftsmanship, and manufacturing excellence.

Drawing inspiration from an array of artefacts within the V&A collection, each rug design tells a unique story that reflects the rich cultural tapestry preserved within the museum’s extensive archive. Ranging from the vibrant florals of dress fabrics from the 20th century to the detailed botanical wonders of William Kilburn’s watercolour paintings from the 1700s; and from the rich geometric design of tapa cloth from the Pacific Islands to the opulent appeal of Victorian paisley – each rug in the Design Discoveries Collection captures a moment in time, blending historical inspiration with contemporary craftsmanship, ultimately providing an opportunity for Agnella by Brintons’ clients to add a piece of storied history to their home.

Crafted with precision and care, the collection embodies the artistry of weaving, utilising Brintons’ signature Axminster and Wilton weaving techniques. Each design has been expertly matched with the weaving technology best suited to accentuate its unique characteristics, resulting in a presentation of historical patterns that offer the enduring quality and durability of fine woollen rugs.

Jodie Hatton, Design Manager at Brintons, comments on the collection expansion:
“Given that the V&A archives are so vast, we knew from the project’s inception that we would continue to grow the range. In terms of design, we really want to embrace the breadth of history and style that the archives offer, so we have continued to source a wide-ranging selection of assets, looking at everything from decorative caskets to ditsy floral print fabrics.”

Nearly 190 years later, our mission is still to champion design and creativity in all its forms, and we are proud of the way this collection combines history with contemporary flair, offering something for every aesthetic preference reflecting the artistic influences housed within the V&A’s collections and, showcasing Agnella by Brintons’ craftsmanship.”
