Coming up in COVER 84, we meet CICIL, the women-owned rug and textile brand taking a more local approach to production.
 
COVER’s Rachel Meek speaks to the women-owned brand about how the idea for CICIL came about and its decision to make all its rugs in the US, sourcing materials from US farms and suppliers. 
 
With premium wool sourced directly from East Coast farms and upcycled natural fibres such as jute, CICIL creates rugs without synthetic fibres, with production taking place at a third-generation textile mill in North Carolina.
 
Rachel finds out how the founders came up with the idea for CICIL, what inspired their focus on natural materials and how they established a supply chain that keeps production close to home.
 
COVER 84 will be online on 20 August and out in print the following week. Order your copy now, or pick one up free at COVER Connect New York, High Point Market, Decorex London and Maison&Objet Paris.

Zoometry by Creative Matters and RDAI 🕸️

For Paris Design Week, Creative Matters and RDAI are presenting five new rugs based on the microscopic structures of spiders, butterflies and coral.

Each design begins as a detailed digital composition before being hand-knotted in Nepal using Himalayan wool and Chinese silk.

In one 3 × 2 metre rug, more than 1.8 million pixels are mapped into individual knots, turning intricate digital patterns into woven surfaces.

Alongside the collection, an exhibition at Mouvement Modernes Gallery features photography and film by Nepalese photojournalist Narendra Shrestha, documenting the research, digital modelling and weaving behind the rugs.

📍 Mouvement Modernes Gallery, Paris
📅 9–23 September 2026
🎟️ Free admission

COVER Conversations 🎙️ | Episode 09: Camilla Douraghy Fischbacher of Fischbacher 1819
 
For the latest episode of COVER Conversations, COVER editor Lucy Upward speaks to American-Iranian creative and Art Director Camilla Douraghy Fischbacher.
 
The conversation explores Fischbacher 1819’s new Silk Road rug collection, created in collaboration with .international, alongside the story of the brand’s evolution since 2008, when Camilla’s husband Michael Fischbacher became CEO and she took over the art direction.
 
Camilla also discusses her approach to transforming the marketing of fabrics, the development of the Silk Road collection and the emotional relationship we have with textiles and design.
 
‘Creative people are trying to move people to realise the value of the things they bring into their homes. If you put soulless items into your place, you aren’t going to feel that great, but you can create a space that has meaning to you.’ — Camilla Douraghy Fischbacher

A once-in-a-lifetime exhibition is coming to London…
 
The Bayeux Tapestry will go on display at the British Museum in September 2026, marking the first time the extraordinary 70-metre masterpiece has been exhibited in England since it was created nearly 1,000 years ago.
 
On loan from France as part of a landmark cultural exchange, the exhibition promises to be one of the museum’s biggest attractions, bringing one of history’s most iconic works of art back to the country whose story it tells.
