When I visited the Morrison Hotel a few weeks ago, I couldn’t help but notice the lovely vibrant carpets spread throughout the hotel, especially the few ombre carpets in the lobby. Ombre seems to be the trend that just won’t die, and design bloggers have been going nuts for it for years. It’s not entirely my cup of tea, but these particular ombre carpets were Irish designed and made – not all that common for rugs!
The rugs were designed by Irish artist Maree Hensey and produced by Caedogan Rugs in county Wexford. Maree also worked on the carpet that was placed in the middle of the lobby when the hotel first opened years ago!
All of the rugs made in the Caedogan workshop are made using a hand held tufting gun, isn’t that incredible? These rugs in the Morrison are large – that’s a lot of man hours with a tufting gun!
