Jenny Jones
Jenny Jones — 'Lorenzo', Rug 2024
This handknotted rug designed by Jenny Jones is inspired by the rugs that feature in the artwork of 16th century painter Lorenzo Lotto. Typically associated with the Venetian school of painters, the Lorenzo design embodies the superiority and complexity of the time and the artist. It features a lacy arabesque with Venetian influences - ornamental yet delicate. Jenny’s Classic designs take traditional patterns and motifs from centuries ago and bring them into the 21st century with the use of contemporary colours and subtle textures. The result is a collection of sophisticated, elegant rugs that hold great respect for the traditions of the past while fitting effortlessly into our modern homes. They are classic beauties that do not belong to any age.

Jenny discovered her passion for the art of rug making in 1995 whilst living in Turkey with her young family. Exploring the famous Turkish rug markets, she began hand selecting pieces to bring into Australia. Growing with the movement towards contemporary interior design, in 2001 Jenny became one of the first rug designers in Australia to create contemporary hand knotted rugs. She has since built her business around creating personal connections with clients to find the perfect rug for every project. Her contemporary works and modern day classics reinterpret traditional designs and bring them into the 21st century with the use of sophisticated colour and the highest quality production techniques. Jenny continues to be driven to create stunning bespoke designs and push boundaries in designs. With over 25 years in the industry, collections in the US and Asia, as well as numerous international awards, she continues to be recognised as one of the best contemporary rug designers in the world.
