Brintons has announced that it will launch the Craigend Collection – a nature inspired carpet range designed by longstanding collaborators Timorous Beasties – as part of a pop-up installation in St John’s Square during Clerkenwell Design Week.

Marking Timorous Beasties’ third collection for Brintons, Craigend takes its name form Craigend Place, the studio’s home, as well as the old Gaelic word Creag, meaning rock. Aesthetically influenced by surfaces and textures found underfoot such as sand dunes, stone moss and lichen, the collection is constructed from Brintons’ signature 80/20 blend of wool and nylon.

Alistair MacAuley and Paul Simmons, founders of Timourous Beasties, comment: “For our new Craigend collection we took inspiration from what we see under our feet, taking cues from natural carpets such as sand dunes, moss, stone and waves of water. We also thought about how carpet can be dramatic in transitional spaces such as lobbies, corridors, and grand dining rooms. We also considered how the functional aspects and minimal aesthetic can work in more personal spaces such as bedrooms, whilst keeping the link between the dramatic and serene.”
