Luke Irwin is a textiles designer notable for the manufacture of hand-made bespoke rugs, aiming to give the customer complete control of the colour, texture, size & weave of their rug, ensuring that the finished product will suit its intended context. Each rug is hand-knotted maintaining traditional techniques from Nepal and India and each stage of the manufacture is carried out by skilled craftsmen, the drafting, casting, weaving, washing and hand finishing and because of this each rug can take between 12 to 18 weeks to complete.
The fact that he strives to maintain traditional techniques, sets him apart from other designers as they try to incorporate new technologies and put their own twist on a traditional process. He also goes against the idea of mass production, allowing each customer to have complete control of the design of each rug, giving each rug individuality and providing a personal service to his customers.
