A Closeup Look at How Orior Continues Local Irish Craft With New Rugs
Orior is a family business in Northern Ireland and they share how their new rugs featuring bold colors and graphic patterns are made
Orior is a family business in Northern Ireland dating back 40 years making handcrafted furniture by skilled artisans that focus on superior Irish craftsmanship combined with a contemporary aesthetic. The brand’s son, Ciaran McGuigan, is creative director and for their latest venture he tapped his sister, fashion designer Katie Ann McGuigan, to collaborate on a collection of rugs. The trio of rug designs are produced in small-batch production runs by four makers in a converted barn in Wexford, a coastal county in Southern Ireland. The collection gives nod to photographer Perry Ogden’s works of the Irish countryside, drawing inspiration from his color palettes and textures. The rug patterns depict the natural beauty found in Ogden’s Irish landscapes, from the aftermath of the country’s harsh weather to the contrasts between old and new scenery. The three rugs ? Orcal, Jag and Xida ? offer bold colors and graphic patterns that are signatures of Katie Ann’s work. In this month’s Deconstruction, Orior gives us a closeup look at how the new rug collaboration is made.
