Straw

Anna-Carin McNamara is a Swedishborn, Sydney-based interior designer who specialises in high-end residential Scandinavian interiors. She is passionate about connecting the Scandinavian principles of simplicity, functionality and sustainability with Australian architecture and lifestyle.

Anna-Carin’s first rug collection FORSA is the embodiment cross-cultural pollination. Traditionally, nomadic rug designs were often inspired by a myth or a poem and the rug would reinforce and illustrate the story. As a modern nomad, each of Anna-Carin's designs tells a story from her childhood. Each
design recounts a childhood recollection, abstracted and renewed.

"On our land, as a child, we grew oats and timothy grass for animal feed. We would ride on top of the hay load in my father’s cart. Left over straw from the oats we used to make bedding in the stables for our horses."Anna Carin
