Roger Selden

Drawing from his American roots, the Roger Selden Collection is a boldly graphical range of rugs. It takes an abstract look at urban aesthetics, elevating design to chic new heights and creating modern carpets with a stunning visual impact.

These high-quality rugs are available in six different designs and are ideal for finishing a space with a statement.

AN ABSTRACT APPROACH

From the bold strokes of the Phoenix to the pictorial swirls of the Chicago, Selden’s rugs invite you to engage your imagination. These abstract rugs are a true expression of modern art explored in textile.

To bring this selection to life, premium weaving craft is utilised: Hand-knotting  which requires a superior level of skill and time and means that while we can offer the same design to a range of customers, no two rugs will ever be completely identical. The labour-intensive process requires a great deal of dedication from the weavers which makes every piece an investment in quality.

The Roger Selden range comprises long-lasting, naturally insulating and stunningly tactile high-quality rugs that add an unmistakable modern appeal to your design aesthetic.
