Jenni Little and Teresa Collins founded the company in 1993, specialising in bespoke commissions for private clients and interior designers. In 1995, we became founder exhibitors at 100% Design; and a few years later, we opened our design-studio-cum-showroom at the Oxo Tower on London's South Bank. Little + Collins design and manufacture bespoke and limited-edition collections of rugs and wallhangings. Critics frequently rank our work among today's leading contemporary designs, and we are often featured in the press. We offer an individual design service which tailors any rug to meet the size, format and colour requirements of the customer or intended location. Our clients appreciate this personal service and many over the years have become collectors of our work as textile art. All our rugs are handmade in the UK, this enables us to control the entire creative and manufacturing process. Normally we are able to complete projects in 6-8 weeks from receipt of order.
