SpaceTM's Joe meets the Savoys

Did you know rugs have feelings too? Of course they do! Well, that is if it's the new Savoy collection created by Loophouse.

When going through the process of designing the range (which is "inspired by the sharp tailored style of 30s London's high society"), each rug developed its own unique personality. It's almost like the designers made explicit the relationship we all have with the furniture and decor that surrounds us. School boys hate to think they have anything "girly" in their bedrooms, my mum has a flowery, baroque clock she calls "the lady", and I know the piano my late Grandfather left me kind of is him now, in some ways. (When I see it I think of his stocky frame hunched over it playing easy Bach and Irish folk songs, heavy red wine, anecdotes about delicious meals he remembers having, and jokes. Lots of jokes.)

Anyway, meet two of the Savoy family...
 


This is Simpson (above). He drinks his G&T while waiting Boyd's arrival.



And this is Herbert. He rises from the barbers chair (while Perkins plays idly with the olive in his Martini and Winston clips the tip off his cigar).

Incidentally, just in case you were wondering, Boyd introduced Chapman to Simpson.

(There's also a Henley, Harris, Wallace, Smythe, Fletcher and Parker.)

All the rugs are currently on sale for just £1,275 per rug (normally £395.00 per square meter) from www.loophouse.com.
