THE STORY

Thistle Mandala Runner

A striking fusion of East and West, the Thistle Mandala runner unites two iconic cultural symbols in a design that feels both timeless and contemporary. The distinctive Scottish thistle of the West is set within the intricate geometry of temple motifs, inspired by Dravidian architecture commonly found in the rich textile traditions of Southern India. ​

The Thistle Mandala runner weaves the rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands with the ornate elegance of South Indian saree motifs, evoking a sense of global harmony and the embracing of respective heritages. With its intricately woven thistle curves and bold, fluid geometry of temple motifs inspired by traditional Indian saree patterns, the Thistle Mandala runner strikes a refined balance between grace and character.​

It pairs perfectly with all of the East & West Coalesce collection, and is fabulous alongside Plains & Frames with shared design elements. ​

Hand-knotted to a 100 knots per square inch quality, the Thistle Mandala is available in matching colourways or can be customised to suit your interiors.

Skilled artisan finishing a Northwest 35’s hand-knotted runner—carefully trimming and perfecting geometric and linear patterns in terracotta, grey, and cream wool, highlighting meticulous craftsmanship.

East & West Coalesce

—–– East & West Coalesce is a visual celebration of global diversity, emphasising respect for different cultures. The blending of Scottish tartan patterns with South Indian saree motifs represents harmony and interconnectedness in the modern world. This fusion honours the rich heritage, unique aesthetics and versatility of both textiles, and highlights the enduring relevance of inclusivity in our increasingly globalised world.
