New Runner Rug Launch: ✨The Bubbles Runner✨
Today we celebrate the launch of our new modern design, ‘The Bubbles Runner’.
This playful piece of floor art is the matching runner to Sonya Winner’s iconic Bubbles area rug, now allowing it’s colourful spheres into any hallway, bedside, walk-in wardrobe or other narrow space!
Finding Inspiration in Happy Moments
The Bubbles design is a vibrant representation of bubbles blown from a wand that cluster together reflecting the surrounding colours as they float into the sky. This joyful motif came to Sonya Winner in 2012 shortly after designing her first rug, the infamous After Matisse rug. You can find inspiration in everything life has to offer, and this bright collection mirrors the joyous emotions in those fond family memories.

Intricate Design
This multi-coloured design is composed of round areas of blue, green, yellow, pink, purple, red and orange carefully overlapping to create subtle hue changes of violet, aqua and many other shades. This creates the effect of transparency, luminosity, and light within the solid fibres of wool. The layering effect in the composition of the rug is enhanced by the 3D effect of varying tuft heights and crucial carving.
Adjacent to the 9 striking round shapes found in the Bubbles area rug, the Bubbles runner is composed of 14 distinctly coloured circles of various sizes, which overlap creating a cheerful play on shape and colour.
Like all of our high-quality tufted modern rugs, the Bubbles runner is crafted by hand in 100% New Zealand wool by GoodWeave artisan weavers, a company who aims to eliminate child labour and to improve working conditions for adults.
