Wild Berry l Handknotted Rugs

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.

"In summer, as a child, we would pick wild berries in the meadow. We would thread them on straw like a string of pearls then run home and eat them with cream and sugar." Anna Carin
