“We need them in a world that’s become so disconnected from nature and so digital. This is our way of reclaiming that,” said Sophie when I asked why the world needs carpets now more than ever. Made from natural materials and coloured with natural dyes, traditional carpets are tactile objects we can touch and feel.

During the Safavid dynasty, Persians wove garden symbology into their carpets to bring their outside spaces into their homes, letting the garden live indoors with them all year round, even during the cold seasons.

We shot Sophie for this editorial at Thames Carpets, the beautiful carpet business she runs with her father in Henley-on-Thames, and it felt just like that: like being in her home, surrounded by stories not just of her own family and the shop, but of the people, animals and places woven into the carpets themselves.
