Kate St James, FDIA, and Catherine Whitting, AssDIA, have long, extensive – but heretofore separate – careers in the Australian design realm. The duo joined forces in recent years to create St James – Whitting, an interior design practise with a hard lined focus on sustainability and environmental responsibility.
Designer Rugs have likewise endured the ups, downs, shifts and flips the ever-fluid design industry is known for.
No strangers to each other, or to the process or collaboration, the two entities have been hard at work putting together the Elementals rug collection produced and distributed through Designer Rugs.
On Thursday 19 October – at long last – the collection of five dynamic, colourful, and truly unique rugs was launched. You can see them in more detail here.
