The issue’s focus on Women in Rug Design includes an interview with Stephanie Odegard and a conversation amongst a group of ten women in the field. Female voices from across the industry enliven the magazine content, from Pakistani human rights activist Tanveer Jahan and Dolma, a rug worker from Nepal, to retailer Christiane Millinger, artist Margo Selby, Jennifer Manners and US brand Temple Studio.

Rug and textile exhibitions that promote the importance and relevance of the field also come under the spotlight, with reviews of Lila Valdan’s ‘Night Time in a Palace’, the ‘Weaving Poems’ display by Turquoise Mountain in Doha, Outi Pieski at Tate St Ives, and ‘Unravel. The Power and Politics of Textiles in Art’ at London’s Barbican.
