Nordic Knots Transforms Tennis Courts into Luxurious Rugs at London’s Eltham Palace

This summer is marked by thrilling sports events and memorable victories, yet the Nordic Knots‘ latest endeavor intriguingly translates court geometry. Transforming the iconic geometry of tennis courts into rugs, the Swedish brand showcases its innovative collection within the opulent halls of London’s Eltham Palace.

A Touch of Class

Eltham Palace’s medieval-meets-art deco decor provides a rich backdrop for “The Grand Open rug collection.” This collection translates the distinct green of a grass court, paired with refined white geometric lines, into an indoor experience. The rugs, available in grass green and blue clay court variants, fit seamlessly into any home without overpowering the decor.

Exquisite Craftsmanship

Each rug, crafted from 100 percent New Zealand wool, features a 14mm-thick hand-loomed and cut pile design. This meticulous crafting mirrors the texture and color variations of an actual tennis court, embodying the intricate artistry seen in Eltham Palace’s historic woodwork by architect Rolf Engströmer.

Extending the Fantasy

The collection doesn’t stop at rugs; Nordic Knots also offers a limited edition of branded rackets and tennis balls. These accessories are part of the collection’s narrative, allowing enthusiasts to indulge in their passion for tennis without setting foot on an actual court.
