Seven of New Zealand's leading creative talents have worked in conjunction with Designer Rugs to produce stunning large scale handmade floor rugs made completely from 100% NZ Wool. Designs by fashion designer Kate Sylvester along with artists and designers Dick Frizzell, Max Gimblett, Zambesi, Codi design & Kevin Roberts from Saatchi & Saatchi form part of the ongoing Kiwi Icon collection.

Boh Runga explains the inspiration behind her Monarch rug... 'it came from me thinking about something specific to New Zealand but that also has greater recognition worldwide. The end result is the Monarch rug. Having something like this for me in a medium I am not familiar with is so much fun to be part of. When I see Monarch butterflies in summer it reminds me of beautiful weather and our wonderful New Zealand environment.'

We should also shortly have the video available that shows all the creatives' inspirations.
