‘Sakura’ is the Japanese word for cherry blossom and it is a glorious cherry blossom tree in full bloom that brings this new neutral so vividly to life. Cherry blossoms are symbolic of renewal, the promise of new beginnings, as well as the fleeting nature of life. A gentle reminder to embrace, savour and make life as joyful as possible.

Gold-etched cranes, a symbol of happiness and longevity, are surrounded by soft pink petals, made up of tiny heart shapes that shimmer gently. Sophisticated and elegant, with a vital connection to nature, Sakura shares a powerful story of renewal and optimism.

The soft ombre base builds gently from black to ecru, creating a warm grey backdrop shot through with gold highlights. The gentle block colour border and slim gold frames ground the pattern, making this an easy design to place.

ABOUT WENDY MORRISON DESIGN

In 2004 freelance fashion designer Wendy Morrison accepted a commission to design a rug collection. It was a turning point; the perfect match for her love of colour and pattern, combined with storytelling. It was the start of a design journey that comes from the heart, that puts passion and craftsmanship at the centre of every project, and strives to connect people, places, art, ideas and nature.

Authentic rug-making demands incredible skill, craftsmanship and attention to detail. Wendy Morrison want to protect those skills, to support the artisans who tuft and weave, and bring our designs to life, to explain the history and storytelling behind rug design, and to celebrate and help maintain this centuries-old art.

Since 2012, Wendy Morrison have worked with the same Indian manufacturer and artisans who share their desire to create rugs of outstanding quality. Wendy Morrison take responsibility for ethical trading seriously and are a proud partner of GoodWeave, a not-for-profit organisation that ensures fair working conditions.
