Growing up on the island of Guernsey, Claire was surrounded by nature’s colours and textures. “Nature has always been my biggest inspiration. Observing its rhythms of light and shadows, its ever-changing colours and textures, and recognising its impact on mood and emotion has always fascinated me.” Claire Gaudion  Their textile collections take inspiration from nature’s colours, patterns and textures. Biophilic design is multi-faceted – there are many ways to ‘bring nature indoors. From greenery and indoor plants to fresh air and views onto nature, through to using naturalistic colours, textures and patterns that mimic a sense of nature in our homes. And, decorating your home with nature’s colour palettes, natural materials and layered tactile textures are some of the easiest and most accessible ways to refresh your home with a natural look. Where biophilic design is about nature looking after us, sustainable design is about us looking after the natural world. They work with respect for both of these. Since the beginning in 2013, they have been committed to working as sustainably and responsibly as possible and are continually reviewing how to improve on this. Claire Gaudion values skilled craftsmanship and collaborative partnerships. They recognise and celebrate the craft skills of the specialist weaving mills that weave fabrics, the artists and makers that craft rugs and all those who contribute to the products journey. They work with the best manufacturers to make the collections and all the rugs are created in collaboration with Momo Rugs and are endorsed by the Care & Fair label. The Care & Fair certificate confirms that no child labour is used, the weavers enjoy good living conditions and fair wages.
