Jonathan Adler: Rug maker extraordinaire

Quite simply we’re smitten.

Cutting edge design? Check. Vibrant colour schemes? Check. Aesthetically and ethically pleasing products? Check.

Jonathan Adler’s mantra is to treat your feet, and we couldn’t agree more. As do we agree with his sentiments that minimalism is a bummer (true say), and that tassels are the earrings of the home (aw!).

Well, they are a lovely decorative touch, but after several battles with a vaccuum cleaner trying to eat tassels on rugs in our home – personally, we’ll take a pass on that one, but only for practical reasons you understand!

So, Jonathan Adler (swoon) makes lovely treats for your feet, alternatively known as rugs. His rugs are made from the finest materials (couture handmade tufted premium New Zealand wool and hand-loomed Peruvian llamas wool too) with a pretty fine price tag to match unfortunately.

We knew that there had to be a catch somewhere. Perhaps we should introduce Mr Adler to the likes of his admirers’ budgets in the vague hope that he might slash his prices.

Never mind, we’ll just keep looking at pretty pictures of his rugs whilst rubbing our toes in to a cosy and considerably cheaper pile – well, it might be just as feel-good. Heaven knows, our bank balance will feel a lot better.

In the meantime, we’ll leave you with his final thought: “We believe you should throw out your Blackberry and go pick some actual blackberries.”

Did we tell you he’s wonderful?
