New Zealand-based brand BAYA’s latest indoor and outdoor summer collection elevates its soft furnishings to a new level.

The collection is made up of rugs, entrance mats, throws, and cushions built around the contrast between the organic rhythms of natural terrain and the discipline of architectural geometry.

Each indoor rug is designed to be a work of art in its own right. Most are crafted from New Zealand wool, with intricate hand-carving and hand-stitching giving each design its own character. Edgewater, Mesa and Strata feature varying pile heights, while Bastion is finished with delicate details. Rather than simply sitting beneath your furniture, these rugs are designed to become considered centrepieces within a room.

For those wanting a more subtle addition to their flooring, Fairmont and Linden are the perfect no-fuss, low-profile rugs.

‘The wool pieces feel almost geological, like they were carved rather than woven, while the flatweaves and outdoor ranges pull that same tension into something quieter and more restrained,’ says BAYA head designer Hannah Middleton.

‘It’s the contrast that makes a room feel considered rather than styled.’

This craftsmanship continues on a smaller scale with the indoor cushions, each acting as a colourful, tactile addition to any room.

Moving outdoors, the range of cushions and rugs is made from 100 per cent recycled PET, bringing colour and texture to backyard spaces. The rugs come in Biscotti, Sand, Zinc, Mineral and Claret, while the cushions are available in block colours or vertical stripes. Designed to be both durable and stylish, these pieces make an easy addition to any outdoor setting.

Embrace warmer days with these sophisticated pieces designed for longevity.
